A Tip for Preserving Domestic Tranquility
"The humorous missives from a Dec.25 letter writer are always entertaining and his wife's letter Jan.3 is no exception. After 50 years of marriage, she suggested that if her husband wanted Armenian dinners he should have married an Armenian.
In the interest of preserving domestic tranquility, maybe he should work longer and harder to afford an Armenian cook."

Husband Should Cook Dinner Himself
"Like many others on Maui, I'm sure, it has been very fun reading the tit-for-tat repartee between husband and wife regarding his longing for home-cooked Armenian dinners.
But here's my question: Rather than bemoaning the lack thereof or taking his wife's advice by doing a 50 years ago redo and marrying an Armenian, or taking the advice of an Upcountry sympathizer by working harder to afford hiring an Armenian cook, why can't the disenchanted husband cook an Armenian dinner himself - for two?"
