A New Bride Cooks
Dear Diary:
Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home. It is fun to cook for Dan. Today I made angel food
cake using Watkins Vanilla Extract for extra flavouring. The recipe said, "Beat 12 eggs separately." The neighbours were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls"
Tuesday:
Dan wanted fruit salad for dinner. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing." So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Dan brought a friend home for dinner.
Wednesday:
A good day for rice. Recipe said, "Wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." It seemed somewhat silly but I took a bath. I can't say it improved the rice any.
Thursday:
Today Dan asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said, "Prepare ingredients, and then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." Which is what led up to Dan asking me why I was rolling around in the garden.
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:
Dan did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. (Oh boy) For some reason Dan keeps counting to ten.
Sunday:
Dan's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but 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 like hamburger, much to my disappointment.
Goodnight, 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 Dan. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with "Chocolate Moose."
