Monday: Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home, it’s fun to cook for
Bob. Today I made an
angel food cake and the recipe said, “Beat 12 eggs separately.” Well, I didn’t have
enough bowls to do that,
so I had to borrow enough bowls to beat the eggs in. The cake turned out fine.
Tuesday: We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, serve without
dressing.” So I didn’t dress. But, Bob happened to bring a friend home for supper
that night. Did they ever look startled when I served the salad.
Wednesday: I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, “Wash thoroughly
before steaming the rice.”So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming
the rice. Sounded kinda silly in the middle of the week. 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.” I hunted all over
the garden by my mom’s. So I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over
there one hour so the dog would not take it. Bob came over and asked if I felt all
right. I wonder why?
Friday: Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, “Put all ingredients in a
bowl and beat it.” Beat it I did, right over to my mom’s house. There must have been
something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again it looked the
same as when I left it.
Saturday: Bob went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to
dress it for Sunday. I’m sure I don’t know how hens dress for Sunday. I never
noticed back on the farm, but I found a doll dress and some little shoes. I thought
the hen looked real cute. When Bob saw it, I wondered why he counted to 10.
Sunday: Today Bob’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast, but all we had in
the icebox, was hamburger. So I put it in the oven and set the controls for roast.
Must be the oven, because it still came out hamburger.
Good night, Dear Diary. This has been an exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to
come, so I can try a new recipe on Bob.
