On going back and "catching up" on this series, I'm really enjoying them. But a vital ingredient is missing from the first portion (historical) of the blog, and I think it is important even though the blog is introducing a great recipe. WWI didn't happen? Well, my spellcheck just tried to correct that to WWII, so maybe not. . . I bring this up because one reason -- in fact many historians would say, the only reason that women were targeted for time-savers in the home was that the men were over in Europe and women (long before Rosie the Riveter) were doing the men's jobs. Since we were mostly still farming/ranching, this might not have been as apparent as during WWII, but it was still a big factor in the decision (I think) to come up with packaged goods and other time savers.
