Jayme and Bob have been back from their honeymoon for two weeks when Bob came home from work saying he d invited four friends from the office home for dinner on Friday Jayme is a bit apprehensive as she asks if she must cook a meal for them all Bob explains that there will actually be eight coming as each has a spouse or date Since this is her first party he consoles her by saying that all she has to do is get some Chinese food in and perhaps she can bake a cake This sounds like a good idea and they sit down and decide what Chinese food to get Friday morning wife calls the office in tears She explains that the only cake recipe she has will only feed six Hubby says why don t you just double the recipe? She decides that is a good idea At four hubby gets another phone call -- this time quite frantic I just can t do it wifely weeps It s impossible Now now what s the matter? Well their recipe calls for two eggs So you use FOUR eggs Don t you have them? Yes -- then it needs 4 cups of flour Well Bob says rather testily you will have to use 8 cups of flour -- what is the problem? It isn t the ingredients Jayme cries it says that the cake must be baked at 350 degrees and I have checked the oven and I can t turn the heat up to 700 degrees
