Is that from that same story where they had to pretend to be married by being partnered up (Archie/Betty, Veronica/Jughead) for a class project in managing a family budget?

No, this is a different story. Veronica reads an article that claims a woman should not get married until she can make a perfect  pie crust so she begs Betty to teach her how to bake.

Yes, and this was the proposal 



I didn't save the last page, but she actually becomes really in to the idea to the degree that Jughead loses his appetite.

     Wow, Jughead actually proposed to her! Too bad you don't have the last page

Veronica gets really into the idea and starts having all these plans about transforming Jughead. He becomes disgusted and runs off. Archie then tells Veronica how she managed to do what no one else has, she made Jughead lose his appetite. The story is "Wedded Blitz" in Jughead #316.


Interestingly enough, in an earlier issue Jughead lets Veronica transform him







If they played this like the film this story is based on Jug and Ron would have ended up together. As an aside, I like George Bernard Shaw's original ending that subsequent adaptions ignored better though.

OOOOOkay.... I'm used to Archie stories sometimes being based on pretty bizarre premises, but that one really takes the cake pie. Matrimonial success based on the quality of pie crust. Right.

Yeah, very silly but Veronica believed it

I guess it could have been worse. Instead of the Ladies Home Journal, she could have picked up a copy of the Weekly World News.
I still suspect that "article" was actually a Betty Crocker advertisement.

Yuck.

It would make a great MAD parody of Riverdale, though... Hiram has an affair with Betty, dumps Hermione, marries Betty, and she becomes Veronica's step-mom. Meanwhile, Archie elopes with Miss Grundy. Hilarity ensues, etc.

Classic J/V feud cover:

Classic cover, not so classic story.

Is it just me or does Veronica put up with a LOT more from Jughead than he does from her?

HA! Great story! Back when Veronica was a good cook, I see.  Does anyone else remember a story where Jughead eats candies Veronica made but they were really bird treats?

Maybe, sometimes Veronica doesn't have to do anything for her to earn Jughead's wrath but it can be the other way around too. Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, Jug's gotta annoy Veronica, especially if Dan Parent writes it.

Classic J/V feud cover:

The thing that really stands out about this cover is how Reggie's reacting. Why should he care? I figured he'd be smirking at the show...

^ Maybe V & J have been going at it for a while, so by now Reggie is annoyed.
