They were a mixed people; Moravians from +Bohemia and Moravia, Mennonites from Switzerland and Holland, the Amish, +the Dunkards, the Schwenkfelds, and the French Huguenots. After the lean +years of clearing the land and developing their farms they established +the peace and plenty they sought. These German-speaking people were +originally called the Pennsylvania Deutsch but time and custom have +caused them to be known to us as the Pennsylvania Dutch. + +The Pennsylvania Dutch are a hard working people and as they say, “Them +that works hard, eats hearty.” The blending of recipes from their many +home lands and the ingredients available in their new land produced +tasty dishes that have been handed down from mother to daughter for +generations. Their cooking was truly a folk art requiring much intuitive +knowledge, for recipes contained measurements such as “flour to +stiffen,” “butter the size of a walnut,” and “large as an apple.” Many +of the recipes have been made more exact and standardized providing us +with a regional cookery we can all enjoy. + +Soups are a traditional part of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and the Dutch +housewife can apparently make soup out of anything. If she has only milk +and flour she can still make rivel soup. However, most of their soups +are sturdier dishes, hearty enough to serve as the major portion of the +evening meal. One of the favorite summer soups in the Pennsylvania Dutch +country is Chicken Corn Soup. Few Sunday School picnic suppers would be +considered complete without gallons of this hearty soup. + +Many of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods are a part of their folklore. No +Shrove Tuesday would be complete without raised doughnuts called +“fastnachts.” One of the many folk tales traces this custom back to the +burnt offerings made by their old country ancestors to the goddess of +spring. With the coming of Christianity the custom became associated +with the Easter season and “fastnachts” are eaten on Shrove Tuesday to +insure living to next Shrove Tuesday. Young dandelion greens are eaten +on Maundy Thursday in order to remain well throughout the year. + +The Christmas season is one of the busiest times in the Pennsylvania +Dutch kitchen. For weeks before Christmas the house is filled with the +smell of almond cookies, anise cookies, sandtarts, Belsnickle Christmas +cookies, walnut kisses, pfeffernusse, and other traditional cookies. Not +just a few of one kind but dozens and dozens of many kinds of cookies +must be made. There must be plenty for the enjoyment of the family and +many holiday visitors. + +Regardless of the time of the year or the time of the day there are +pies. The Pennsylvania Dutch eat pies for breakfast. They eat pies for +lunch. They eat pies for dinner and they eat pies for midnight snacks. +Pies are made with a great variety of ingredients from the apple pie we +all know to the rivel pie which is made from flour, sugar, and butter. +The Dutch housewife is as generous with her pies as she is with all her +cooking, baking six or eight at a time not one and two. + +The apple is an important Pennsylvania Dutch food. Dried apples form the +basis for many typical dishes. Each fall barrels of apples are converted +into cider. Apple butter is one of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods which +has found national acceptance. The making of apple butter is an all-day +affair and has the air of a holiday to it. Early in the morning the +neighbors gather and begin to peel huge piles of apples that will be +needed. Soon the great copper apple butter kettle is brought out and set +up over a wood fire. Apple butter requires constant stirring to prevent +burning. However, stirring can be light work for a boy and a girl when +they’re young and the day is bright and the world is full of promise. By +dusk the apple butter is made, neighborhood news is brought up to date +and hunger has been driven that much further away for the coming winter. + +Food is abundant and appetites are hearty in the Pennsylvania Dutch +country. The traditional dishes are relatively simple and unlike most +regional cookery the ingredients are readily available. Best of all, no +matter who makes them the results are “wonderful good.” + + + + +PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH + +[Illustration: “Make with a smile for once” + +“Some folks are wonderful nice”] + +Salads + + +FRUIT SALAD DRESSING + + ½ cup sugar + 1½ tblsp. flour + 2 eggs + ½ cup pineapple juice + ½ cup lemon juice + 1 cup whipped cream + +Combine the fruit juices and stir slowly into the flour and sugar.

They were a mixed people; Moravians from +Bohemia and Moravia, Mennonites from Switzerland and Holland, the Amish, +the Dunkards, the Schwenkfelds, and the French Huguenots. After the lean +years of clearing the land and developing their farms they established +the peace and plenty they sought. These German-speaking people were +originally called the Pennsylvania Deutsch but time and custom have +caused them to be known to us as the Pennsylvania Dutch. + +The Pennsylvania Dutch are a hard working people and as they say, "Them +that works hard, eats hearty." The blending of recipes from their many +home lands and the ingredients available in their new land produced +tasty dishes that have been handed down from mother to daughter for +generations. Their cooking was truly a folk art requiring much intuitive +knowledge, for recipes contained measurements such as "flour to +stiffen," "butter the size of a walnut," and "large as an apple." Many +of the recipes have been made more exact and standardized providing us +with a regional cookery we can all enjoy. + +Soups are a traditional part of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and the Dutch +housewife can apparently make soup out of anything. If she has only milk +and flour she can still make rivel soup. However, most of their soups +are sturdier dishes, hearty enough to serve as the major portion of the +evening meal. One of the favorite summer soups in the Pennsylvania Dutch +country is Chicken Corn Soup. Few Sunday School picnic suppers would be +considered complete without gallons of this hearty soup. + +Many of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods are a part of their folklore. No +Shrove Tuesday would be complete without raised doughnuts called +"fastnachts." One of the many folk tales traces this custom back to the +burnt offerings made by their old country ancestors to the goddess of +spring. With the coming of Christianity the custom became associated +with the Easter season and "fastnachts" are eaten on Shrove Tuesday to +insure living to next Shrove Tuesday. Young dandelion greens are eaten +on Maundy Thursday in order to remain well throughout the year. + +The Christmas season is one of the busiest times in the Pennsylvania +Dutch kitchen. For weeks before Christmas the house is filled with the +smell of almond cookies, anise cookies, sandtarts, Belsnickle Christmas +cookies, walnut kisses, pfeffernusse, and other traditional cookies. Not +just a few of one kind but dozens and dozens of many kinds of cookies +must be made. There must be plenty for the enjoyment of the family and +many holiday visitors. + +Regardless of the time of the year or the time of the day there are +pies. The Pennsylvania Dutch eat pies for breakfast. They eat pies for +lunch. They eat pies for dinner and they eat pies for midnight snacks. +Pies are made with a great variety of ingredients from the apple pie we +all know to the rivel pie which is made from flour, sugar, and butter. +The Dutch housewife is as generous with her pies as she is with all her +cooking, baking six or eight at a time not one and two. + +The apple is an important Pennsylvania Dutch food. Dried apples form the +basis for many typical dishes. Each fall barrels of apples are converted +into cider. Apple butter is one of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods which +has found national acceptance. The making of apple butter is an all-day +affair and has the air of a holiday to it. Early in the morning the +neighbors gather and begin to peel huge piles of apples that will be +needed. Soon the great copper apple butter kettle is brought out and set +up over a wood fire. Apple butter requires constant stirring to prevent +burning. However, stirring can be light work for a boy and a girl when +they're young and the day is bright and the world is full of promise. By +dusk the apple butter is made, neighborhood news is brought up to date +and hunger has been driven that much further away for the coming winter. + +Food is abundant and appetites are hearty in the Pennsylvania Dutch +country. The traditional dishes are relatively simple and unlike most +regional cookery the ingredients are readily available. Best of all, no +matter who makes them the results are "wonderful good." + + + + +PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH + +[Illustration: "Make with a smile for once" + +"Some folks are wonderful nice"] + +Salads + + +FRUIT SALAD DRESSING + + 1/2 cup sugar + 1-1/2 tblsp. flour + 2 eggs + 1/2 cup pineapple juice + 1/2 cup lemon juice + 1 cup whipped cream + +Combine the fruit juices and stir slowly into the flour and sugar.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/26558-8.zip b/26558-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7945ae2 --- /dev/null +++ b/26558-8.zip diff --git a/26558-h.zip b/26558-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..17ea029 --- /dev/null +++ b/26558-h.zip diff --git a/26558-h/26558-h.htm b/26558-h/26558-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..963af5c --- /dev/null +++ b/26558-h/26558-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,4287 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> +<head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> + + <title>Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking</title> + <style type="text/css" media="screen"> + <!-- + body { + font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; + margin-left: 15%; + margin-right: 15%; + } + + p { + text-align: justify; + margin: .6em; + text-indent:0em; + } + + h1,h2, h3 { + text-align: center; + font-weight: normal; + margin-top:2em; + } + + img {border:none;} + .illo {text-align:center;width:100%;margin:3em auto;} + .caption {text-align:center;text-indent:0em;font-size:.9em;color:window;} + + ul {list-style-type: none;} + + .pagenum { + position: absolute; + left: 1%; + right: 87%; + font-size: 10px; + text-align: left; + color: gray; + background-color: inherit; + font-weight: normal; + font-style: normal; + font-variant: normal; + letter-spacing: normal; + text-indent: 0em; + } + + a[title].pagenum:after { /* Comment next line to hide page numbers */ + content: attr(title); + } + + #title_page {margin:6em 0em;} + #title_page p {text-align:center;} + #title_page p.epigram {font-family:cursive;font-size:1.5em;margin:3em 0em;} + #title_page h1 {} + + #preface p {text-indent:1.25em;} + #preface p.first_paragraph {text-indent:0em;} + p.first_paragraph:first-letter { + font-size:2.5em; + float: left; + clear: left; + margin: -.2em 4px -.2em 0px; + line-height: 1.25em; + } + + .first_word { text-transform:uppercase; } + + .fancy {font-family:cursive;} + + .section {margin:5em 0em;} + .section_supertitle {text-align:center;font-size:2em;font-family:serif;} + .section_title {font-family:cursive;font-size:2em;} + + .recipe {margin:3em;} + .recipe_title {font-weight:bold;} + .ingredient {font-weight:bold;} + .ingredients_paragraph {font-weight:bold;margin:0em 2em;} + .emph {text-transform:lowercase;font-style:italic;} + .recipe_subtitle {font-size:.8em;} + .recipe_epigram, .recipe_subhead {text-align:center;} + .bible_verse {font-weight:normal;} + + .index_head {margin-top:3em;} + + #the_end {margin:6em;} + #the_end p {text-align:center;font-size:.8em;} + #the_end span.fancy {font-family:"Lucida Blackletter", cursive;font-size:2em;} + /* framing decoration */ + #cover { border-top:thin gray solid; margin:4em 0em;padding:4em 0em;} + #back_cover { margin:2em 0em;padding:4em 0em;} + #transcribers_note {border-bottom:thin gray solid;margin:4em 4em;padding:1em;font-size:.8em;background-color:#ccc;} + + + /* no underlines in links */ + + a:link { text-decoration: none; } + a:visited { text-decoration: none; } + + a:hover { + color: red; + background: inherit; + } + --> + + </style> +</head> + +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking, by Unknown + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Their cooking was truly a folk art requiring much intuitive + knowledge, for recipes contained measurements such as “flour to stiffen,” + “butter the size of a walnut,” and “large as an apple.” Many of the recipes + have been made more exact and standardized providing us with a regional + cookery we can all enjoy.</p> + + <p>Soups are a traditional part of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and the Dutch + housewife can apparently make soup out of anything. If she has only milk + and flour she can still make rivel soup. However, most of their soups are + sturdier dishes, hearty enough to serve as the major portion of the evening + meal. One of the favorite summer soups in the Pennsylvania Dutch country + is Chicken Corn Soup. Few Sunday School picnic suppers would be considered + complete without gallons of this hearty soup.</p> + + <p><a class="pagenum" id="page3" title="3"> </a>Many of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods are a part of their folklore. No + Shrove Tuesday would be complete without raised doughnuts called + “fastnachts.” One of the many folk tales traces this custom back to the + burnt offerings made by their old country ancestors to the goddess of spring. + With the coming of Christianity the custom became associated with the + Easter season and “fastnachts” are eaten on Shrove Tuesday to insure living + to next Shrove Tuesday. Young dandelion greens are eaten on Maundy + Thursday in order to remain well throughout the year.</p> + + <p>The Christmas season is one of the busiest times in the Pennsylvania + Dutch kitchen. For weeks before Christmas the house is filled with the + smell of almond cookies, anise cookies, sandtarts, Belsnickle Christmas + cookies, walnut kisses, pfeffernusse, and other traditional cookies. Not just + a few of one kind but dozens and dozens of many kinds of cookies must be + made. There must be plenty for the enjoyment of the family and many + holiday visitors.</p> + + <p>Regardless of the time of the year or the time of the day there are pies. + The Pennsylvania Dutch eat pies for breakfast. They eat pies for lunch. + They eat pies for dinner and they eat pies for midnight snacks. Pies are + made with a great variety of ingredients from the apple pie we all know to + the rivel pie which is made from flour, sugar, and butter. The Dutch housewife + is as generous with her pies as she is with all her cooking, baking six + or eight at a time not one and two.</p> + + <p>The apple is an important Pennsylvania Dutch food. Dried apples form + the basis for many typical dishes. Each fall barrels of apples are converted + into cider. Apple butter is one of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods which has + found national acceptance. The making of apple butter is an all-day affair + and has the air of a holiday to it. Early in the morning the neighbors gather + and begin to peel huge piles of apples that will be needed. Soon the great + copper apple butter kettle is brought out and set up over a wood fire. Apple + butter requires constant stirring to prevent burning. However, stirring can + be light work for a boy and a girl when they’re young and the day is bright + and the world is full of promise. By dusk the apple butter is made, neighborhood + news is brought up to date and hunger has been driven that much + further away for the coming winter.</p> + + <p>Food is abundant and appetites are hearty in the Pennsylvania Dutch + country. The traditional dishes are relatively simple and unlike most regional + cookery the ingredients are readily available. Best of all, no matter who + makes them the results are “wonderful good.”</p> +</div> +<div id="salads" class="section"><a class="pagenum" id="page4" title="4"> </a> + <p class="section_supertitle">PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH</p> + <div class="illo"> + <img src="images/illo-04.png" width="299" height="298" alt="A farmer carries a goose and a basket" /> + <p class="caption">“Make with a smile for once”<br /> + “Some folks are wonderful nice”</p> + </div> + <h2 class="section_title">Salads</h2> + <div id="salad_1" class="recipe"> + <h3 class="recipe_title">FRUIT SALAD DRESSING</h3> + + <ul class="ingredients_list"> + <li class="ingredient">½ cup sugar</li> + <li class="ingredient">1½ tblsp. flour</li> + <li class="ingredient">2 eggs</li> + <li class="ingredient">½ cup pineapple juice</li> + <li class="ingredient">½ cup lemon juice</li> + <li class="ingredient">1 cup whipped cream</li> + </ul> + + <p>Combine the fruit juices and stir slowly into the flour and sugar.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/26558-h/images/cover.jpg b/26558-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

They were a mixed people; Moravians from +Bohemia and Moravia, Mennonites from Switzerland and Holland, the Amish, +the Dunkards, the Schwenkfelds, and the French Huguenots. After the lean +years of clearing the land and developing their farms they established +the peace and plenty they sought. These German-speaking people were +originally called the Pennsylvania Deutsch but time and custom have +caused them to be known to us as the Pennsylvania Dutch. + +The Pennsylvania Dutch are a hard working people and as they say, "Them +that works hard, eats hearty." The blending of recipes from their many +home lands and the ingredients available in their new land produced +tasty dishes that have been handed down from mother to daughter for +generations. Their cooking was truly a folk art requiring much intuitive +knowledge, for recipes contained measurements such as "flour to +stiffen," "butter the size of a walnut," and "large as an apple." Many +of the recipes have been made more exact and standardized providing us +with a regional cookery we can all enjoy. + +Soups are a traditional part of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and the Dutch +housewife can apparently make soup out of anything. If she has only milk +and flour she can still make rivel soup. However, most of their soups +are sturdier dishes, hearty enough to serve as the major portion of the +evening meal. One of the favorite summer soups in the Pennsylvania Dutch +country is Chicken Corn Soup. Few Sunday School picnic suppers would be +considered complete without gallons of this hearty soup. + +Many of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods are a part of their folklore. No +Shrove Tuesday would be complete without raised doughnuts called +"fastnachts." One of the many folk tales traces this custom back to the +burnt offerings made by their old country ancestors to the goddess of +spring. With the coming of Christianity the custom became associated +with the Easter season and "fastnachts" are eaten on Shrove Tuesday to +insure living to next Shrove Tuesday. Young dandelion greens are eaten +on Maundy Thursday in order to remain well throughout the year. + +The Christmas season is one of the busiest times in the Pennsylvania +Dutch kitchen. For weeks before Christmas the house is filled with the +smell of almond cookies, anise cookies, sandtarts, Belsnickle Christmas +cookies, walnut kisses, pfeffernusse, and other traditional cookies. Not +just a few of one kind but dozens and dozens of many kinds of cookies +must be made. There must be plenty for the enjoyment of the family and +many holiday visitors. + +Regardless of the time of the year or the time of the day there are +pies. The Pennsylvania Dutch eat pies for breakfast. They eat pies for +lunch. They eat pies for dinner and they eat pies for midnight snacks. +Pies are made with a great variety of ingredients from the apple pie we +all know to the rivel pie which is made from flour, sugar, and butter. +The Dutch housewife is as generous with her pies as she is with all her +cooking, baking six or eight at a time not one and two. + +The apple is an important Pennsylvania Dutch food. Dried apples form the +basis for many typical dishes. Each fall barrels of apples are converted +into cider. Apple butter is one of the Pennsylvania Dutch foods which +has found national acceptance. The making of apple butter is an all-day +affair and has the air of a holiday to it. Early in the morning the +neighbors gather and begin to peel huge piles of apples that will be +needed. Soon the great copper apple butter kettle is brought out and set +up over a wood fire. Apple butter requires constant stirring to prevent +burning. However, stirring can be light work for a boy and a girl when +they're young and the day is bright and the world is full of promise. By +dusk the apple butter is made, neighborhood news is brought up to date +and hunger has been driven that much further away for the coming winter. + +Food is abundant and appetites are hearty in the Pennsylvania Dutch +country. The traditional dishes are relatively simple and unlike most +regional cookery the ingredients are readily available. Best of all, no +matter who makes them the results are "wonderful good." + + + + +PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH + +[Illustration: "Make with a smile for once" + +"Some folks are wonderful nice"] + +Salads + + +FRUIT SALAD DRESSING + + 1/2 cup sugar + 1-1/2 tblsp. flour + 2 eggs + 1/2 cup pineapple juice + 1/2 cup lemon juice + 1 cup whipped cream + +Combine the fruit juices and stir slowly into the flour and sugar.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
