Found a 1970s recipe card with a torn corner, the missing bit changed the whole dish
Pulled a box of old recipe cards from a library book sale in Austin, and one card for "Aunt Ruth's Potato Casserole" had a corner ripped off right where the cheese amount should be. I made it twice, once guessing a cup and once using a half cup, and the texture went from gloopy to perfect. Anyone else find that a missing detail in an old manuscript makes you try way more variations than if the whole thing was intact?

That torn corner bit reminds me of my friend Carol with her grandma's chili recipe. She still guesses the heat.
