            For the entertainment value only, and I apologize to my blonde friends! This came with Bob in the story, which makes it even funnier to me since I also cook for a Bob. 

Monday: It’s fun to cook for Bob. 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:  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. 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 though.

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. Bob 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:  Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. For some reason Bob keeps counting to ten.

Sunday:  Bob’s friends 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.

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 I can talk Bob into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with Chocolate Moose.
