Have you ever baked a "victory cake" or remember your mother or grandmother doing so? Maybe even one of the recipes mentioned in the attached article? The Museum's Military Room is honoring those on the home front who sacrificed and pulled together to support the war effort with victory gardens, scrap metal drives and yes, adapting recipes that used whatever was on hand in those years of food rationing. www.atlasobscura.com/articles/victory-cake-recipe?utm_campaign=The%20Weekly%20Genealogist%20&utm_...

Born in an era of rations, these scrappy recipes relied on cheap pantry staples.
We had the pleasure of meeting some of the great Tiger football team today, along with Coach Smothers. Museum educator Darryl Couts helped show off the Museum -- especially to introduce them to the dueling pistols that Tigers of yesteryear shed blood, sweat and tears for in Excelsior's long rivalry with the Liberty team. Today's Tigers were helping us doing some heavy lifting around the Museum as part of their day of community service days. Great group of guys -- can't wait to cheer them on in action this coming year!
Due to continuing weather worries, the outdoor group painting/sketching/photographing sesssion at Cooley Lake was cancelled. Rescheduled for the Sunday after 4th of July weekend: July 11. Same plan: meet at Bohemian Sage at 9:30 am, caravan to Cooley Lake.
