THE NEW HOUSEWIFE…..
July 18th, 2005
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.”
