My notes: I am typing as it is written by Grandmother.  I have no ideas what fromentoes are (in the Sour milk dressing).  At first, I thought that maybe she meant pimentoes  but also did a google search for fromentoes.  I did find frumento which is Italian for wheat or grain, so that did not make sense.  Hoping someone knows!
