Blonde Cookbook.

Hello my Friends ~~ Well how quickly the weeks go by, as it

is Friday again. I trust that all is well with you all and the world

is treating you well. I cannot complain, (well I can and do, but

wont here) as all is well with my part of the world.

I found an easy recipe that you may like. Or not !!

<><><>

<><><> Cheese and Potato Cakes. <><><>

2 cups of mashed potato

1 cup grated cheese

3 tablespns of melted butter or Margarine

2 beaten eggs

½ cup of flour Salt and pepper (I add a little chopped onion)

Mash the potatos and add melted butter, cheese and salt/pepper

and the 2 beaten eggs. Add flour. Shape into cakes (patties ?)

Dip in breadcrumbs and fry about 15 minutes in a little hot oil.

These would be nice with salad, and not much trouble.

In keeping with the recipes on Fridays, my son sent me these

Blonde Recipes jokes. Enjoy.

Blonde Cookbook! 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 (oh boy). 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.

<><><> 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.

<><><> The Senility Prayer <><><>

Grant me the Senility to forget the People I never liked.

the good fortune to run into the People I do like.

And the eyesight to Tell the Difference.
