Sara's response to Blackie's letter about cooking

I have to answer my husband's December 25 letter of accusations about my poor cooking skills.

For many years after we married, he ate my cooking consisting of meatloaf, spaghetti, beef stew, etc., even though they never came out the same way each time.

He gave me an Armenian cookbook and asked me to cook the recipes. During the 50 years we have been married, I have tried to cook these strange Armenian recipes, but to no avail.

I have given up. If he wants an Armenian dinner, he should have married an Armenian.
