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

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

    Great. Now that book title has got me humming "Streets of Laredo." Just what I needed first thing in the morning.

    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

    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.
