Handwriting clues

Before going to buy oats, I figured I should look at the rest of Bubby’s recipe to make sure I had everything else on hand (see recipe image, 2 posts prior). Deciphering her handwriting during this project is going to be a challenge. For example, next to ’2 cups of flour’ does it say, ‘basic–add prunes?’ What is the ingredient listed under baking soda? Boiled water? What is raw oatmeal? Does that mean I should cook the oatmeal first or just add the dry oats to the water? So many questions and no one to ask.
