I might have mentioned my historic association with auxiliaries. When I was a student at the University of Saskatchewan a group of progressive women students formed the Women's Liberation Front, and, as expected there was some push-back. Some of us sympathetic males were trying to think of a way to support them. I suggested we form a Men's Auxiliary to the Women's Liberation Front and hold a fundraiser bake sale. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">Our call went out. The rules were that the cooks had to be male, women were welcome to boss them about at will, with no objections allowed - and all baking had to be done barefoot and in the kitchen. On the appointed day we were delighted by the response, received many more items than we'd anticipated, although the quality was pretty uneven. We all had a lot of fun, we sold out every item, and turned over $129 (equivalent to about $300 to $400 in today's dollars) to the women.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">I also have a cook book called Square Meals from the American midwest.

There is a chapter exclusively devoted to tuna casseroles, with about 30 different concoctions. Carroll and I were invited to a 50th birthday party with a potluck based on a 1950s culinary theme. From this cookbook, we brought "Flaming cabbage head with pupu sauce and cocktail wieners" and "Pepsi cola cake with peanut frosting". The former earned us the prize for "recipe least likely to be asked for", and the pepsi cola cake, which was surprisingly good, got us prizes in two different categories.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">I will be baking Ukrainian Easter babkas later this week.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">Chees, Greg</div></div><hr tabindex="-1" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; width: 853.578125px;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class=""></span><div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;" class=""><b class="">From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Susan Bryant<br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Monday, March 29, 2021 2:53:10 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Greg Michalenko<br class=""><b class="">Cc:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Mr. Kevin R.
