Figure this one out and win a prize!

Y’all know I’m a lazy cook, right? I like to share recipes with five-or-less ingredients, because that’s the way I cook. Also, since it turns out that I’m allergic to most of the things I’ve been eating all my life (which explains a lot), I’ve spent the last decade recreating old family recipes to avoid the main allergens I’m sensitive to: dairy, soy, peanuts, gluten (wheat), and one or two others that I can’t remember. (Thank God I can still eat corn, which I LOVE.)

But anyhow, in search of old family recipes to convert to new methods and materials, I found an undecipherable recipe card written in my maternal grandmother’s handwriting. She may have been in an altered state of consciousness when she wrote it, because pharmaceuticals were varied, plentiful, and easily obtainable back in those days.

Here’s an image of the recipe card. If you can decipher it, you win a prize! If you try the recipe (as you understand it) and report back, you win an even bigger prize. Add pictures of the completed dish, you get a triple prize!

(Prize details TBD later–which means it could be a free puppy!–or more likely, an underwhelming token of appreciation that will fit into a plain white envelope. Maybe a bookmark or two or three.)

See what you can make of this….

Head on over to my blog and post your best guess (and picture) in the comments. I’ll announce the winner in a future newsletter. And good luck!
