The years 1943 and 2009; so much time in between, but so much in common. The year 1943 was 56 years ago and the world was in the midst of the “war to end all wars”. The famed Baby Boomer generation wouldn’t begin to appear for 3 more years. The war effort required sacrifice by every man, woman and child in the United States. Then as now, it was not an easy time for Americans, but their were more challenges.
History

- A famine in Bengal, India kills 3 million people.
- “Pay As You Go Tax” is introduced into the United States; the beginning of income tax withholding. (more…)

Welcome to Home Food Gourmet’s blog. I have always wanted to write, this blog is my stage and you are my audience. This gives me a chance to discuss preserving food at home.
