You know, I never paid attention to the quantities, only the ingredients. Thanks for pointing that out.
To me, that's inexplicable. I remember one of us running across a recipe book for the Navy (or some other branch of military service), maybe about 3 or 4 years ago. There were some huge quantities for items in those recipes, but that was understandable. From outward appearance, this present cookbook looked like any little cookbook of that time that some woman (not to be sexist, but that's just the way things almost always were back then) would have in her kitchen.
