Dear Diary,
Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home. It’s fun to cook for
Bob. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said, "Beat 12 eggs
separately." The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.
"Tuesday:
Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "Serve without
dressing." So I didn’t dress. What a surprise when Bob brought a friend
home for supper.
Wednesday:
A good day for rice. Recipe said, "Wash thoroughly before steaming the
rice." It seemed kinda of silly but I took a bath. I can’t say it
improved the rice any.
Thursday:
Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said,
"Prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before
serving."
Which is what led up to Bob asking me why I was rolling around in
the garden.
Friday:
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "Put all ingredients in bowl
and beat it." There must have been something wrong with this recipe.
When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.
Saturday:
Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. (oh boy) For some reason Bob keeps counting to ten.
Sunday:
Bob’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast. All I could find
was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger
in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out
hamburger, much to my disappointment.
Good night, Dear Diary. This has been a very exciting week. I am
eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Bob. If
we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with
“Chocolate Moose.”.
