I will make this as quick and direct as possible. I rescued two old recipe boxes from the rain at a donation bin. I dropped the oldest box and all the recipe’s fell out. I was pretty upset that someone’s loved family recipes have been just tossed like yesterdays trash. Different things mean different things to different people I suppose. I brought them home and started to sort them. These are index cards that are typewritten and newspaper clippings from the 60’s inside a metal tin. Well I was thinking about the owner of the recipes. Who were they, where did they live? Whose mom or grandmother owned these? The categories are hand written. I got to the second from last clipping and this is what I found. I cried pretty hard when I read this. I felt a connection and the entry is from some folks that lived about a hour away from me. I kind of feel like I have received the answer I was looking for. Thanks for reading!

I have not tried any of the recipes yet but found this interesting and hope you will too!
What a find! I rescue old recipes as well. Someone put love and care into collecting these. What a treasure! ❤️
Yeah, that is crazy. Driving down the road and they fell off a truck right in front of you would be a really crazy thing, though. Sounds more like you went snooping in a donation box.
Thank you for sharing.
