Notes

Typed on both sides of the card. The back continues the front: ‘mix pkg cream (philadelphia) cheese WITH’ continues as ‘DREAM WHIP …’.

The cream cheese is mentioned on both sides; read as one small package.

Part of the card is cut off or missing: Front: ‘fir\[m\]’ at the end of the ‘let set’ line runs off the right edge of the card (typed past the edge). The meaning is clear.
