Ingredients: "A good many husbands are entirely spoiled by mismanagement in cooking and so are not tender and good. Some women keep them constantly in hot water, others freeze them, others put them in a stew, others roast them and others keep them constantly in a pickle. It cannot be supposed that any husband can be good and tender managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. When selecting a husband you should not be guided by the silvery appearance as in mackerel nor by the golden tint as if you wanted salmon. Be sure and select him yourself as tastes differ. Do not go to the market for him as those brought to the door are always best. It is far better to have none than not to learn how to cook them properly. It does not make so much difference what you cook him in as how you cook him. See that the linen in which he is wrapped is white and nicely mended, with the required number of strings and buttons. Don't keep him in the kettle by force, as he will stay there himself if proper care is taken.

Directions: If he sputters or fizzes, do not be anxious, some husbands do this. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call "kisses" but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them but it must be used with judgment. Do not try him with anything sharp to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently the while, lest he stay too long in the kettle and become flat and tasteless. If thus treated you will find him very digestible, agreeing nicely with you and he will keep as long as you want."
