A Blonde New Bride's Cooking Diary:

Monday: It's fun to cook for Ron. Today I made an angel food cake. The recipe

said to beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to lend me some

extra bowls.

Tuesday: Ron wanted fruit salad. The recipe said to serve without dressing, so I

didn't dress. What a surprise everyone had when Ron brought a friend home for

dinner.

Wednesday: A good day for rice! The recipe said to wash thoroughly before

steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly, but I took a bath anyway. I can't

say it helped the rice any.

Thursday: Today Ron asked for a salad again. I tried a new recipe that said to

prepare the ingredients and lay on a bed of lettuce an hour before serving. Ron

asked me why I was napping 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 it.

Saturday: Ron did the shopping today and brought home a chicken and asked me to

dress it for Sunday. Oh boy! I know some cute baby clothes shops. For some

reason Ron keeps counting to ten lately. . .

Sunday: Ron's folks came to dinner today. I wanted to serve a 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, goodnight, dear Diary: This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for

tomorrow to come so I can try out yet another new recipe for Ron. I am thinking

of trying to bake a shoofly pie, but not sure I'll be able to find the

ingredients, the flies around here seem to be barefoot. I may have to take a

trip into the city... And, if I can talk Ron into buying me a larger oven, I am

going to surprise him one day with a chocolate moose.
