Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home,
it's fun to cook for Bill. Today I made an angel food cake
and the recipe said, " Beat 12 eggs separately."
Well, I didn't have enough bowl 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, Bill happened to bring a friend home for supper that night.
Did they ever look startled when 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'tsay 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."
I hunted all over the garden by my Mom's.
So I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce
and stood over there 1 hour so the dog would not take it.
Bill 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 came back home again
it looked the same as when I left it.
Saturday:
Bill 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 Bill saw it, I wondered why he counted to 10.
Sunday:
Today Bill'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.
There must be a problem with the oven,
because it still came out a hamburger.
Monday:
I was going to bake bread today.
The recipe said, "Mix well and knead well.
Then stand in a warm place until double in bulk."
I just won't bake bread if I have to double in bulk!
Goodnight Dear Diary,
this has been an exciting week.
I am eager for tomorrow to come,
so I can try a new recipe on Bill.
