Mother's directions on recipes were mostly non-existent. She knew what needed to be done and just wanted to make sure she had the correct measurements.
This is not the original recipe card. That recipe is almost unreadable with smears and streaks. Evidently Mother thought the same thing as she copied it over onto this paper.
Dwight, this clipping has an interesting bread recipe, using salt as the raising medium. Not sure how that would mix with someone with blood pressure issues, but it is an interesting recipe.

Loud laughter on opening blog. I'll have to be careful what I think up next or that will bring forth another flood of whatever it is.
Dwight, we're just so tickled when you make an appearance, that we want to add to the pleasure.
What is all of this cooking stuff? What's wrong with bread, butter, and onions with a glass of cold milk (not dotty though). Or else a good bowl of cold cereal. You are not going to take me down this road!
Judy, we are just sharing memories. Please note there is nothing new here, even the bread recipe is a "pioneer" original. You are quite safe! And I have been able to share a few of Mother's recipes in her own handwriting and now I don't feel guilty for having them. Whew!!!
Oh, I thought we actually had to use the recipies. Now I am safe. The familiar handwriting of familiar recipies is very comfortable.
About Grandma's recipe (receipt in the olden days) for gingersnaps. When I was a senior in high school, I taught a Primary class after school on Tuesdays. Once, I asked Mother if she would bring some cookies for a special occasion. She brought me a batch of gingersnaps that Grandma had made. The kids didn't like them because they were too snappy, so I got to take most of them home, and we enjoyed them.
