Gentlemen Prefer Potatoes

"When you collect recipes for vegetable dishes with men guests in mind, start with potatoes. Of all the garden treats, nothing interests the masculine world so much as the humble spud. Since this cookbook features choice foods for country entertaining, we start the vegetable section with potatoes. It's no secret that most women, and this includes hostesses, do a lot of cooking to please men."

- From a cookbook published by 'Farm Journal' in 1968. My cheesy potatoes turned out ok, but I forgot to ask the men what they thought. I guess wasn't trying to please them.

Hmm... or should I say yumm... I love cheesey potatoes, but I am indeed not a man! I have this book my grandma got when she got married that has many bizzare suggestions- including a reminder to make sure you change out of your 'cleaning the house' cloths into your 'evening dress' before the husband gets home from work! yeah, sort of scary if you ask me!
