A Newlywed Diary

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.
