| Dear Diary: Monday: Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home. It's fun to cook for Bill. 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: Bill wanted fruit salad for dinner. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing." So I took off my clothes. What a surprise when Bill brought a friend home for dinner. Wednesday: A good day for rice. Recipe said, "Wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." It seemed kinda silly but I took a bath. I can't say it improved the rice any. Thursday: Today Bill 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 Bill 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: Bill did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. (oh boy) For some reason Bill keeps counting to ten. Sunday: Bill's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but 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 like hamburger, much to my disappointment. Goodnight, 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 Bill. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with "Chocolate Moose." |
