I was in the kitchen--company was coming or there was some important reason for success with an elaborate meal, which I was to make. Ever time I went for an ingredient I needed, I discovered we had none. At my wits end I settled on "tuna-fish souffle" & some concoction of mixed vegetables. There were other things, because I kept dashing from one to the other. The souffle got done too soon, & began to dry out & to fall--the sauce for the vegetables bubbled over & then began to evaporate before my eyes--that's all I remember. Interpretation I had been preparing an elaborate meal for unexpected company that day but it was a success & had nothing like these ingredients. I did have a powerful lot of dashing, & was very tired. Answers to questions 2. Frustrated - wildly frustrated & exasperated.3. actual participant4. unpleasant5. Kitchen6. never7.
