lot of truth. They are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a song in your

Lord,
Warm all the kitchen with thy love
and light it with thy peace.
Forgive me all my worry,
and make my grumbling cease.
Thou who didst love to give men food,
in room or by the sea,
accept this service that I do,
I do it unto Thee. |

Preserving A Husband
Be careful of your selection. Do not choose
too young. When once selected, give your entire thought to preparation for
domestic use. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly
putting them into hot water. This makes them sour, hard and sometimes
bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing
them with patience, sweetening well with love and seasoning 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 for
years! |

Elephant Stew
(This recipe is considered a southern delicacy due to the rarity of
elephants in southern swamps. According the the redneck hunter's creed, if
it moves, shoot and eat it.)
1 large elephant
Brown gravy mix
Salt and pepper to taste
|
Large pot
2 rabbits (optional)
|
Cut the elephant into bite-sized pieces. This should take about 2 months.
Put in large pot, cover with brown gravy and cook over kerosene fire for
about 4 weeks at 465 degrees. Salt and pepper to taste. This will serve
approximately 3,800 people. If more are expected, 2 rabbits may be added but
only if necessary as most people don't like to find hare in their stew.
