1950 Betty Crocker Cook Book
$5.50 on eBay.

It's what my mother used to learn how to cook and I'm having a blast looking
through it. What memories!

Now, out of the pages of this ring-bound book fell two pieces of paper.
Hand written recipes. I don't know if the recipes were from the book or if
the person who wrote them added them. It has taken a bit of time to
decipher the writing - funny, she writes a lot like my grandmother McQuown
did. Here's one and I have to say some of it makes no sense to me.
