Tarokka treasure spots. If the reading hid one of the treasures here, it's in: Old Bonegrinder (hag_oven)
The containers here also get random magic items and potions, rolled for a party of level 6 the first time you come (Random Treasure). Hidden finds need a Search (F) nearby; the party's best roll counts.

A floury receipt book
Morgantha's receipt book, in three hands. The first is old and spiky; the second large and round, with drawings of cakes; the third neat and bored. DREAM PASTRY: flour of the mill, honey, poppy-milk, a sweet sleep-root from the garden, one pinch of the special flour per dozen. The special flour has its own page. Under it someone has written, in the round hand: NOT THE LITTLE ONES YET, MOTHER SAYS. Further on, a ledger: households in the village and on the Vallaki road, how many pastries a week, and a column headed OWING.
