Broccoli and cauliflower salad with bacon, almonds, raisins, and creamy dressing.

Handwritten card on a 'Here's what's cookin'' kitchen card.

From a handwritten 'Here's what's cookin'' card (the one with the antique cast-iron stove illustration). The 'Recipe from the kitchen of' line is blank, but the card was kept in Marye's recipe collection.

2 Tbsp wine vinegar
½ cup sugar

Marye's note on the card: "I use Bacon Bits" — i.e., the shelf-stable kind, not freshly cooked bacon.
