one thing about bradford curries (while we're still on the subject), the place I went to insisted that we eat with our hands - so you get as much free naan bread as you want to do the mopping up. fantastic at the time, really good way to eat it...but for the entire following week, my fingers were stained yellow. mmm..nice.

lol. nah I'm always put off by the word "meat"...what "meat" is that exactly? have you ever heard of an animal called "meat"?! you can bet your @ss that your eating ground up bone and sheep's testicles. (ooh nice thought there).

think I'll stick with a garlic cheese naan and chicken rogan josh.....and on that note I'm off home to eat before I naw my arm off.

The following is from an actual 1950's Home Economics textbook intended for High School girls, teaching them how to prepare for married life:

1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.

4. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

7. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.

10. The Goal: try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.
schools arent what they used to be !

someone get THIS back into the school system. Its understandable that feminists get pissed with men when you read things like that. ah well, at least girl power has gone out too, i was beginning to regret having been born a guy

thats fantastic!! (just forwarded it to my girlfriend to wind her up!)....

...you know, when I get home from work at night I often think to myself "I wish my girlfriend is a little more gay, my boring day needs a lift" lol

Post Wed Sep 10, 2003 7:21 pm

@steel, i got a similar book from Past Times for my mrs, she read some of it, laughed a lot, then threw it at me.

Post Thu Sep 11, 2003 5:52 am

lmao...i've seen that.
I have seen a different type of list that is similar to that except at the end of every rule was "fix him a nice meal and give him a blow job"

Post Thu Sep 11, 2003 12:47 pm

@taw thanks for the idea its the gf`s birthday soon Past Times you say?
@goddess but that "list" is an actual extract from a 1950s school text
i dont think your list was likely to have made the corriculum at any school ive heard of lol

Post Thu Sep 11, 2003 1:22 pm
