Cracker:
When I go out to the barn in the morning I will dig through the box I have out there and look for a few examples. These are from the turn of the century and they have a bunch of notes written in them.

If you ever care to post a recipe, I will try it out. I like old recipes, especially the simple ones. No mince meat recipes, please. Cracker doesn't eat that.

You could post a margin-blowing pic instead of typing one in stoned...

Here is a cool one that was in a book from the 40's

DATE JELLY
To make this jelly, stew some dates I pray.
Until the stones slip easily away;
Then take a mould, a circle one is best,
And in it a place, like lining in a nest,
The rich dark fruit cut into little strips.
Next, add a layer of almond chips.
Then one of dates, then nuts, then dates once more,
And over all clear lemon jelly pour.
Set on the ice until its time to serve
Heaped with whipped cream in many a graceful curve.

Remember what I said about me trying it? Nevermind that now.

Isn't there one for meatloaf or something normal? Maybe something with bacon? Or apple butter? I haven't had apple butter since I was a kid.

There is a bunch in there. All the local advertisements in that cookbook has 3 numbers as a telephone number! Like dial 739 and so on.

I love apple butter but I HATE cinnamon. If I make it myself, I can leave out most of the cinnamon.

I bet you could gather up the recipes and get a Maggot's Favorite Olde Tyme Dishes book published.
