MONDAY: It's fun to cook for Neil. 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: Neil wanted fruit salad for supper.
The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a
surprise when Neil 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 Neil asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said
prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before
serving. Neil asked me why I was rolling around in the bed with the
vegetables.

FRIDAY: I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the 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: Neil did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He
asked me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy). For some reason Neil keeps
counting to ten.

SUNDAY: Neil'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.

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