"DO stay to dinner, Ruth!" begged Bettina. "Bob is going to drive the new car out when he comes, and we'll have him take us for a spin after dinner."
"Oh, Bettina, has Bob really bought it? Will you really have a car of your own?"
"Yes, indeed, we will. I can hardly realize it myself, and although I'm so happy over it, I have a little haunting fear that perhaps it is too great an extravagance. But we'll enjoy it so!"
"Of course you will. I'm so glad! Won't the summer be delightful when you can get out into the country every day!"
"Ruth, you must stay to dinner and see the car for yourself! I planned a special little celebration dinner, a kind of salad that Bob particularly likes, and a good dessert, too. And now, if you'll come into the kitchen with me, I'll show you how to make peanut butter rolls. You never heard of them? Well, they're a little like pinwheel biscuit. Don't you remember the pinwheel biscuit that I make sometimes—baking powder biscuit dough rolled out and spread with butter and sugar and cinnamon—then rolled up and cut like cinnamon rolls and baked?"
"Of course, I remember, Bettina! They're the best little things, and so easy to make!"
"Well, these peanut butter rolls are like them, but spread with butter and peanut butter. Come into the kitchen and I'll show you how they're made."
For dinner they had:
Lamb Chops Sautéd Potatoes
Creamed Peas
Peanut Butter Rolls
Pear Salad Cheese Wafers
Chocolate Pie
Coffee
