## Editor's Notes
- **"Here's what's cookin'"** — Pre-printed decorative header on the recipe card; not part of the recipe title.
- **"Serves"** — The word "Serves" appears on the card header after the title but no number follows; the yield/serving count was never filled in and has been omitted.
- **"Recipe from the kitchen of"** — Pre-printed attribution line on the card; no name was filled in, so no attribution line has been added.
- **"Meanwhile prepa—"** — The word is cut off at the top of the back of the card, obscured by tape. Context makes clear the intended word is "prepare," transcribed accordingly in the Instructions.
- **"Cottage Pudding batter"** — A standard mid-century preparation: a simple white cake batter (butter, sugar, egg, flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla). The recipe as written assumes the cook knows or has a separate source for this batter; it is not provided on this card. This is a significant omission.
- **"Hard Sauce"** — A classic accompaniment: creamed butter and sugar (sometimes with brandy or vanilla), served firm or at room temperature over warm puddings and cobblers.
- **Baking time for the apple-softening phase** — No time is given for the first bake (apples only). The card instructs "bake until the apples are soft," leaving duration to the cook's judgment. Typically 15–20 minutes at 350°F for sliced apples.
- Instructions are split across both sides of the card.

## Editor's Notes
- **"Pres. & Sis. Kimball"** — "Pres." is an abbreviation for "President" and "Sis." for "Sister," titles consistent with LDS (Latter-day Saint) church usage. This likely refers to Spencer W. Kimball and his wife Camilla, who served as LDS Church President from 1973–1985.
- **Egg preparation** — The 2 hard boiled eggs are listed as ingredients but no instruction is given for how they are incorporated (sliced, chopped, layered whole, etc.). The instruction to layer all ingredients in the dish is assumed to include them. Readers may wish to slice or chop them before layering. -
