I was transferring over from teen magazines and I preferred Glamour to the other more adult lady magazines because it didn’t focus too much on fashion or weird sex lists (like Vogue or Cosmo) and had interesting articles and recipes. One of the recipes was something called Engagement Chicken, which I didn’t think too much about 4 years ago. Engagement Chicken is just a run-of-the-mill roasted chicken recipe, but the magazine pretty much promised that if you made that dish for a man he would propose marriage to you. Again, I didn’t think too much about this when I read it, but now that I am thinking back to it, that is the saddest reason to cook anything ever. I wonder how many women made that chicken just to try to get someone to give them an engagement ring. I wonder how many women got really angry at Glamour magazine when the magical recipe didn’t work.
