Newlywed Dear Diary
MONDAY:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home. It's fun to cook for Bob. 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:
Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing." So I didn't dress. What a
surprise when Bob brought a friend home for supper!
WEDNESDAY:
A good day for rice. Recipe said, "Wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." It seemed kinda of silly
but I took a bath. 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." Which is what led up to Bob asking me why there was lettuce in our bed...
FRIDAY:
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "Put all ingredients in bowl and beat it." Beat it I did, went all the way to my mom's place! There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left...!
SATURDAY:
Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. Oh boy, did I dress it up in the best, most cutest clothes taken from my old doll... For some reason, Bob keeps counting to ten.
SUNDAY:
Bob's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast. All I could find was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash
of *genius* in me. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for *roast*. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment...
Good night, 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 Bob. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with "Chocolate Moose"!!
