Sounds like the hand-written one I have from my gram for her  (and mine)
favorite pickles. Everything goes smoothly along and suddenly 'yil out of the
blue it reads "add a nickle's worth of saccharin"! Excuse me? How much?
Sadly, Gramma has passed to the Summerland and no matter how much I beg on
All Hallow's E'en when the vail to the world's is opened for a brief time she
always seems to be busy somewhere else. :-0  The secret is her's forever or
until I can find out what weight  a nickles worth of saccharin was  during
the 1920's. :-(
