Sequenced by Don Carroll
Diary of a New Housewife
Monday

Dear Diary:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home.
It's fun to cook for Dan. 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

Dear Diary:
Dan wanted fruit salad for dinner.
The recipe said, "Serve without dressing."So I didn't dress.
What a surprise when Dan brought a friend home for dinner.
Wednesday

Dear Diary:
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

Dear Diary:
Today Dan 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 Dan asking me why I was rolling around in the garden.
Friday

Dear Diary:
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

Dear Diary:
Dan did the shopping today and brought home a chicken.
He asked me to dress it for Sunday.
Oh Boy ! For some reason Dan keeps counting to ten.
Sunday

Dear Diary:
Dan'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 Dan.
If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with "Chocolate Moose."
