                <text>This was a great collection to go through for a few reasons.&#13;
&#13;
First, every card in the collection was typewritten on a typewriter with dates spanning decades. In addition, most of the cards were recipes transcribed from magazines, newspapers, and TV. This tells me that the original owner was very passionate about the process of cataloging these recipes in addition to the recipes themselves. With the recipes, there are several other odds and ends like tags from souvenirs. But, in addition to the tags are typed cards transcribing the tags. And, to round out the love for these cards, every single card had a plastic sleeve protecting it.&#13;
&#13;
Second, this collection had some interesting recipes that originally caught my eye. Where else would I find recipes for 'Squirrel and Biscuits', 'Roast Opossum', and 'Armadillo'?! On top of the interesting ones, there are a few that stand out as recipes I want to try. 'Old-Fashioned Cheesecake with Zwieback Crust' sounds super tasty and introduced me to zwieback. And, I love oysters, so 'Scalloped Oysters' will definely hit the table at some point in the near future.&#13;
&#13;
Very fun collection and I wish I knew more about the original owner. I think we'd have a lot in common.</text>

                                        THE BOSTON GLOBE
     In the days when the settlers heaped fall
fruits and squashes into pastry bases,  just
as  they  had  done  in  England,  families  revered
good  bakers.      In  those  days,  every  woman
practically  made  pastry  with  her  eyes  closed
and  lard  was  the  fat  of  choice.   "Half  fat  to
water  to  mix"  was  the  formula  most  bakers
swore  by,  passing  on  to  their  daughters  a
recirecipe without instructions.
     As  the  formula  trickled  down  through  the
generations,  cooks  in  this  century  adjusted
it  to  include  solid  vegetable  shortening.
     To  make  a  double  crust  in  a  food
processor,  put  into  the  workbowl  fitted  with

Card 1 Back:
the  steel   blade,  2  cups  flour,  a  pinch  of
salt  and  3  TB  sugar.    Pulse  once  to  sift
them.  Remove  the  lid  and  add  8  TB  (1  stick)
cut-up   butter  and  ¼  cup  solid  vegetable
shortening.   Pulse  quickly  in  on-off  motions
half  a  dozen  times  or  until  the  mixture  turns
faintly  yellow  and  resembles  crumbs.   Stop
the  motor  and  remove  the  lid.   In  a  1-cup
glass  measure  whisk  1  egg  with  a  fork.   To
the  cup  add  enough  ice  water  to  make  ½  cup  of
liquids.    Add  ½  teaspoon  vinegar.
     Sprinkle  almost  all  of  the  liquids  onto  the
flour  (always  hold  back  a  TB.)  Replace  the  lid
and  pulse  in  on-off  motions  just  until  the
pastry  forms  moist  clumps.   If  the  pastry
doesdoesn't  form  clumps,  add  the   remaining

liquids and work in on-off motions.  If
necessary,   add  ice  water  to  the  food
processor  by  sprinkling  it  in  with  your
hands.  The  pastry  must  not  come  together  in
the  food  processor  to  form  a  ball.
     Turn  the  clumps  out  onto  the  counter  and
cut  through  them  over  and  over  with  a  blunt
knife  or  a  metal  palette  knife  until  they
come  together  to  form  a  dough.   Sprinkle

lightlightly  with  flour  and  divide  in  half.
Shape  each  half  into  a  smooth  flat  cake.
Wrap  separately  in  foil.    Refrigerate  for  20
minutes  before  rolling  out.   Use  to  make  any

# How to Make a Good Pie Crust

*Recipe by Sheryl Julian — The Boston Globe*

*Makes one 9" double crust pie or two 9" one-crust pies*

## Ingredients

- 2 cups flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter, cut up
- 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1 egg
- Ice water (enough to bring egg mixture to 1/2 cup total liquid)
- 1/2 tsp vinegar

## Instructions

1. Put into the workbowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade: 2 cups flour, a pinch of salt, and 3 Tbsp sugar. Pulse once to sift them.
2. Remove the lid and add the cut-up butter and 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening.
3. Pulse quickly in on-off motions half a dozen times or until the mixture turns faintly yellow and resembles crumbs. Stop the motor and remove the lid.
4. In a 1-cup glass measure, whisk 1 egg with a fork. Add enough ice water to bring the total to 1/2 cup of liquid. Add 1/2 tsp vinegar.
5. Sprinkle almost all of the liquids onto the flour, always holding back 1 Tbsp. Replace the lid and pulse in on-off motions just until the pastry forms moist clumps.
6. If the pastry doesn't form clumps, add the remaining liquids and work in on-off motions. If necessary, add ice water to the food processor by sprinkling it in with your hands. The pastry must not come together in the food processor to form a ball.
7. Turn the clumps out onto the counter and cut through them over and over with a blunt knife or a metal palette knife until they come together to form a dough.
8. Sprinkle lightly with flour and divide in half. Shape each half into a smooth flat cake.
9. Wrap separately in foil. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before rolling out.
10. Use to make any 9" double crust pie or any two 9" one-crust pies.</text>
