June 17. Wednesday. Dorothy made Hamburg 
steaks for dinner with spinach cabbage, and 
baked bread fruit! Was like firm spoon-bread, 
mealy and dry, but fine with salt and butter. 
Allens used pepper too. Ice cream for dessert. 
The vanilla ice cream is grand here. Best I 
know of, or so it seems. Spent evening at 
home, sort of waiting for Komp who’d been by 
at 4.30 p.m. but couldn’t wait. I was only 15 
minutes behind that. Had gone bird-hunting 
might as well do that as loaf. Got list of at
