Valentine's Day Countdown! Heart Shaped Fish Croquettes

It's only a few weeks from Valentines Day, so there's no time like RIGHT NOW to start thinking about VD goodies! Especially all you wives out there.

Wilma said it best.


Apparently Pet Milk agreed that the fastest way to a man's heart was through his stomach, and so they published this booklet in the 1940s.


It was FREE if you can believe such a thing, and apparently contained recipes like this one:


"Love it? Of course he will! It's a man's idea of really good eating."

Check back soon for more Valentines Day meal ideas!
