Some of the best recipes in Grandma's box



     

      I was sitting here thinking about what would make as good a story as the last one.  Chocolate is a hard subject to follow up.  In Mom comes with one of her recipe books.  She knows I enjoy reading in them, but this time she wanted me to share it with you.  The recipes I have been sharing are hers, because she is responsible for teaching me to cook.  Long before Hamburger Helper came along, there was Chuck-a-roni.  A little dish I invented when I was 12.  I grilled hamburger, onions, and green peppers, then I added Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.  Just think of all the royalties I have lost out on.  I hope by sharing these recipes, and stories on this blog, that people enjoy cooking them and share the stories with their friends, and familey's.

HOW TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND

      Be careful in your selection.  Don't choose too young and take only such as have been reared in good moral atmosphere.  Make your selections carefully and let it be final.  Do not go to market for him, as the best are always brought to your door.

      When once decided upon, give your entire thought to preparation for domestic use.  Like wine, they improve with age.

      Do not pickle or put in hot water, as this makes them sour or bitter.  Do not freeze, as this hardens them.  They are also unsuited to roasting or putting in a stew.

      Prepare as follows: Garnish with patience.  Sweeten generously with smiles.  Flavor with kisses and spice with laughter.  Wrap carefully in charity and keep warm over a good fire of steady devotion.  Serve with peaches and cream.  Thus prepared, even the poorest varieties may become prize specimens and will keep well for years.
