blonde cookbook ..., 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., tom wanted fruit salad for supper. the recipe said serve without dressing. so i didn tsp dress. what a surprise when tom brought a friend home for supper, 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 tsp say it improved the rice any., today tom asked for salad again i tried a new recipe. it said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce 1 hour before serving. tom asked me why i was rolling around in the garden.., 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., tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. he asked me to dress it for sunday. i don tsp have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason tom keeps counting to ten., 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.
