  1. I have to assume "olds" for "molds" is a type rather than a misreading. Best, M.

  2. Olds, as in Oldsmobiles. Let mixture dry in the glove compartment of your Delta 88.

  4. WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS --

    I recognise the book, the handwriting and the recipe -- that's from our house! That was my mother's! O_O

  5. Lynne, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the book came from a large lot of SciFi and Fantasy paperbacks I bought from a house in Norwich NY.

  6. Wow. I wonder what path it took. I'm pretty sure it got given away to lighten the volume of house stuff when we moved away from Pennsylvania in 1978.

    Wow.
