The easy way out isn't always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my

husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which

included homemade break . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for

work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozen would be

better , so I doubled everything . As Dong loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it

all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks . realizing I

had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing

at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to

Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went

outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what

he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid

up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and

explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid

up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my

work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the

surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why

it was there . I don't know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me.
