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 that night.

Friday:
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:
Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked
me to dress it for Sunday. (oh boy) 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. 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."
