Monday: It's fun to cook for Tom. 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: Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So, I
didn't dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper.
Wednesday: A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice.
It seemed kind of silly, but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any.
Thursday: Today Tom asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare
ingredients, lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was
rolling around in the garden.
Friday: I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, put the ingredients in a 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: Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it
for Sunday. For some reason, Tom keeps counting to ten.
Sunday: Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast, but all I had 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.
Well, 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 Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger
oven, I would like to surprise him with chocolate moose.
