Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.
A zucchini-banana-nut quick bread — the title on the card is written "Zuccini Bannut Bread" (Zucchini Banana Nut Bread, as intended), and the recipe never actually states how much zucchini to use.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup mashed banana(s)
- zucchini — ⚠ not stated on the card (quantity never given, anywhere on the card)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 cups flour
Method
Mix eggs, oil, and sugar. Add zucchini and banana, add vanilla, nuts, cinnamon, salt, soda, and baking powder — mix well. Add flour. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes. Makes 2 large pans or 3 small pans.
Notes on the artifact
Handwritten in blue ink on lined notepaper that appears to be scrap from a medicine box or product insert — partial printed text reading "...Inhalation Aerosol" bleeds through near the top of the page, suggesting the card was written on the back of repurposed medical packaging. No name is on the card.
