Re: Learning to Cook with recipes - humor ;-) - Another joke for Digna

[Guest guest]

Sorry everybody, this one's completely off topic! Jan

One day Ole and Lena were outside, and it started to rain. They thought

nothing of it. Well, the rains kept coming until the main floor of their

house became filled with water.

Lena said, " Ole, what are we going to do? The water is coming in. "

" Let's go upstairs. The rain won't last that long, and it won't get up

there, " was Ole's reply.

So Ole and Lena went upstairs to wait for the rain to stop. After a short

time Lena looked at her feet and saw they were immersed in water.

Given your floods - thought you might appreciate this one then!

" Ole! Ole! the rain has reached us up here. What are we going to do? "

" Lena, calm down. We'll just go up on the roof. The water will NEVER reach

us up there. It's too high. "

After sitting on the roof for a period of time, Lena noticed a hat floating

down stream. She, of course, thought that someone had just lost his hat and

the current was taking the hat with it. However, when she looked at the

water rising again, she noticed that the hat was coming back up stream. That

hat kept going downstream and then back upstream, downstream and back

upstream.

" Ole, look at that hat, " she said.

Ole was as puzzled as she was. Then it suddenly hit him. He remembered what

Sven had told him.

" Lena, I know why that hat is going back and forth upstream. When I talked

to Sven yesterday, he said that come hell or high water he was going to mow

his lawn today!! "

What a great laugh! and I sure needed it. After the Southern CA deluge all

night last night ground was mushy enough, so some must have migrated down the

hill again, and this afternoon we again had a busted water pipe from the main

to the side garden. So, no water tonight bc it was too dark and flooded for

the plumber to fix it, facing a huge repair bill to say nothing of the water

bill we will get for this month, and early morning run to my daughter's for

shower before work. I needed this one, so thanks.

Silly humor - Those of you that are NOT cooks, and just learning how might

especially enjoy this.

Subject: Lena's cookbook

Lena 's Cookbook Diary

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

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

me

some extra bowls.

Tuesday: Ole wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without

dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Ole 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 Ole asked for salad again I tried a new recipe. It said

prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Ole

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: Ole did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked

me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy). For some reason Ole keeps counting to

ten.

Sunday: Some of Ole'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 Ole. If I can talk Ole

into

buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with chocolate moose.
