POTD - Vintage Recipes

I bought this recipe box at an antique store. It was an exciting find. I like to see what people saved, what recipes were splattered and used more than others. I love looking at the handwriting, too. One of my grandmother's recipes had as an ingredient, 25¢ worth of hamburger. I think it was for meatloaf! Recipe boxes are usually pretty inexpensive so it's a big bang for the buck.
Hoe cool is that. I love old recipes. One of these days I would like to publish my Mom's old recipes. I have her cookery book somewhere.

ReplyDeleteI haven't really looked through other peoples recipe boxes. I know that my cards have splatters on them from use. Now I have many papers from the computer that look like that but they certainly are not as unique as a recipe card.
ReplyDeleteI have one, too. I like the reference to an "egg" of shortening (or something like that.
