    how to cook a husband!!

    Be careful in your selection.

    Do not choose too young.

    When once selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use.

    Some insist on keeping them in a pickle.

    Others are constantly getting them into hot water. This makes them sour, hard to get along with and sometimes bitter.

    Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience and sweetening with kisses.

    Wrap them in a mantle of charity.

    Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion, and serve with peaches and cream.

    Thus prepared, they will keep well for years.

    Elephant stew..

    (How to Feed A Crowd)
    1 Elephant (medium)
    Brown Gravy (Watkins Beef Soup & Gravy Base)
    Watkins Sea Salt & Watkins Pepper
    Two Rabbits (optional)

    Cut elephant into small bite sized pieces. This should take only about two months. Add enough gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for about four weeks at 465 degrees. Makes about 3,800 servings. To extend it add rabbits, but do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.

    Chocolate Advice
    If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

    Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, oranges & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

    The Problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The Solution : Eat it in the parking lot.

    Diet Tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

    A nice box of chocolate can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

    If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

    If I eat equal amounts of dark and white chocolate is that a balanced diet?

    Money talks......chocolate sings.

    Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

    Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? A. Because no one wants to quit.

    If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

    The Stress Diet
    This is a specially formulated diet, designed to help you cope with the stress that builds up during the day;

    BREAKFAST
    1 Grapefruit
    1 Slice Whole Wheat Toast
    1 Cup Skim Milk

    LUNCH
    Small Portion Lean, Steamed Chicken with a Cup of Spinach
    1 Cup Watkins Green Theratea
    1 Tim Tam

    AFTERNOON TEA
    The rest of the Tim Tams in the packet
    1 Tub of Rocky Road Ice Cream with Choc-Ice Topping
    1 Jar Nutella

    DINNER
    4 Bottles of Red Wine
    2 Loaves Garlic Bread
    1 Family Size Supreme Pizza
    3 Snickers Bars

    LATE NIGHT SNACK
    Whole Frozen Sarah Lee Cheesecake (eaten directly from the freezer)

    DIET RULES

    1. If no one sees you eat something, it has no calories;

    2. When drinking a Diet Coke with a chocolate bar, the Diet Coke cancels out the fat in the chocolate bar;

    3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you do not eat more than they do;

    4. Food used for medical purposes does NOT count (for example: hot chocolate, toast, cheesecake and vodka);

    5. If you fatten up the people around you, you will look thinner;

    6. Cinema related foods have a zero calorie count as they are part of the entertainment package and not counted as food intake (this includes: popcorn, mints, Maltezers, Jaffas and frozen Cokes).

    7. Biscuit pieces have no calories because breaking the biscuits up cause calorie leakage;

    8. Foods licked from knives and spoons have no fat if you are in the process of cooking something;

    9. Foods that are the same colour have the same amount of fat. Examples are: spinach and peppermint ice cream; apples and red jelly snakes.

    10. Chocolate is like a food-color wildcard and may be substituted for any other color.

    11. Anything eaten while standing has no calories due to gravity and the density of the calorie mass;

    12. Food consumed from someone else's plate has no fat as it rightfully belongs to the other person and will cling to his / her plate (oh, how fat likes to cling!)

    And remember: STRESSED SPELT BACKWARDS IS DESSERTS.

    The Turkey Poem
    The turkey shot out of the oven
    and rocketed into the air,
    It knocked every plate off the table
    and partly demolished a chair.

    It ricocheted into a corner
    and burst with a deafening boom,
    Then splattered all over the kitchen,
    completely obscuring the room.

    It stuck to the walls and the windows,
    it totally coated the floor;
    There was turkey attached to the ceiling,
    where there'd never been turkey before.

    It blanketed every appliance;
    it smeared every saucer and bowl;
    There wasn't a way I could stop it;
    that turkey was out of control.

    I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
    and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
    I'd never again stuff a turkey
    with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

    The night of thanksgiving..

    Twas the of Thanksgiving, I just couldn't sleep,
    I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep

    The leftovers beckoned --- The dark meat and white,
    But I fought the temptation with all of my might.

    Tossing and turning with anticipation
    The thought of a snack became infatuation

    So I raced to the kitchen, Flung open the door,
    And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.

    I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
    Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

    I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
    Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground !!

    I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky....
    With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie,

    But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees ...

    HAPPY EATING TO ALL !!

    PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE !!

    Dieters psalm..

    Strict is my diet. I must not want.

    It maketh me to lie down at night hungry.

    It leadeth me past the confectioners.

    It trieth my willpower.

    It leadeth me in the paths of alteration for my figure's sake.

    Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry department, I will buy no sweet rolls for they are fattening.

    The cakes and the pies, they tempt me.

    Before me is a table set with green beans and lettuce.

    I filleth my stomach with liquids, My day's quota runneth over.

    Surely calorie and weight charts will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the fear of scales forever.
