                <text>A small, but interesting collection.  The cards in this box spanned from classic recipes, to soap, to DIY bee pollen to keep your bees alive until they can start harvesting their own pollen.  There were also some repeated recipes and, of those, the Sour Milk Pancakes stood out.  There are two versions of that recipe in the collection.  Sour Milk Pancakes is the older version and expects that cooks have soured milk on hand.  Later on, the recipe was updated to use buttermilk instead.  From what I can find online, this transition happened as home refrigeration became more common.  Prior to homes having a refrigerator, milk would sour fairly quickly and would then be used for the acid in recipes like this rather than having the sour milk go to waste.&#13;
&#13;
Another standout recipe in this set is Sukiyaki (for 100 People).  The scale of this recipe indicates that this collection was built by someone who would cook for large events.  There are also a few other recipes, like Punch, that are scaled for a crowd.  One of the recipes (Chicken Casserole) is attributed to 'Pres. and Sis. Kimball' which could indicate members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.</text>

Break up a meeting with this apple torte

Ladies getting together at your house to
plan the year's agenda? Serve this crusty
apple torte—it's not too sweet for a morn-
ing or afternoon meeting, but becomes a
lavish dessert with the addition of vanilla
ice cream.
   Ingredients: 4 Tbs. soft butter, 1 cup
sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup flour, 1 t. cinnamon,
½ t. baking powder, ¼ t. soda, ⅛ t. salt.
   3 peeled, cored apples cut in lengthwise
slices ⅛″ thick. Cream together butter and
sugar. Add egg and beat until light and
fluffy. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking
powder, soda and salt, and beat in thor-
oughly. Stir apples into batter, which will
be thick and hard to stir. Turn into but-
tered 9″ pan and spread smooth. Bake at
350° 1 hour. Cool and cut into wedges.
Serve warm. Six servings.
