Old Family Recipes, featuring miracle whip, merachino cherries, and crushed pineapple!

I was visiting my grandma and taking photos of any paintings my mom had done. When my mom was a young woman, she made the chapter pages for her future mother in law's recipe book. She used regular glue and regular paper, not the nice acid-free, archive quality stuff, so her cute watercolors are all stained from the adhesive. But you still get a sense of it. Maybe it adds patina!
