                <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>
