    1. Exactly how much baking did she do? How long would this much foodstuffs last? Did you get any reports on the blueberry or cherry pies?

    2. 4 gallons of mayo is crazy. especially for $23

      edit: wait, did she run a store? i just realized that’s a 2ct so 8 gallons of mayo!! holy..

    3. The Teeland Store is still in Wasilla, it’s a sandwich shop now. I drove by it today. Good sandwiches.

    4. That hundred pounds of flour reminds me (with a track-jumping train of thought) of “a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line.”

      (And yes, now I also see the second line item and the 15 and the 2.)

    5. I love old lists, letters, catalogs, newspapers etc.
      I could spend hours looking at that type of stuff!
