Dear Diary,
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 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,
Bill
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 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 one 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 I
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 though 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.
