This reminds me of a recipe in an Amish cookbook I used to own.  The ingredients were listed with the simple instruction:  Bake.

When I was a young  working girl, I asked my roommate from Maryland what temp was good to cook cornbread?

She started laughing, then told me, "we had a wood stove and you just put a log in and fired it up!"  Temp?

I guess BAKE covers it.

You can also get fish 'bouillon' on the Mexican foods aisle, Goya brand (I had to look in my pantry).

It comes in ham, beef, chicken, vegetable or fish. It's a powder in small envelopes that you use like bouillon cubes.

@depglass I'm sure it was a recipe that a friend told her about over the phone and that was her way of writing it down. It was in her handwriting, as many of her others were.

I have the unfortunate habit of writing down a complete recipe without the name at the top.  Months later I come across it and think "what the heck is this?"

@Marybella  I didn't have a clue what fish sauce was either, long after 1960.

You all must have heard the 'tale' about the bride who was in process of cutting a roast in half before baking.

Her friend said:      WHAT are you doing?

Bride:  well my grandma always cut her roasts in half

Checked with grandma - grandma said - I cut the meat in half to make it fit the pan!

(okay - old joke)

@Desertdi  I was referring to my mother scratching down the recipe on a note pad. She was not Amish! LOL
