Totally Stupid Gifts
Dear Diary: Just Back from Honeymoon
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 neighbours 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 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: 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."
