Arwilda’s edits

Arwilda’s note: Changed “peeled” to “unpeeled”. “peeled” is crossed out immediately before readable replacement “unpeeled.” Arwilda’s note: Changed “originalText peeled; finalText unpeeled” to “heavily struck word followed by unpeeled”. Retain unpeeled as the final intended text, but mark the deleted original as unresolved with peeled only as a candidate.

Needs review

Uncertain top-left margin annotation: Isolated words appear to read “Red food,” but role as recipe note or unrelated label is unclear. Candidates: “Red food”.
