This past week I wrote about the White House Christmas dinner during the war and mentioned they were having clear soup and hard sauce. I was unfamiliar with both of these items and looked them up.
CLEAR SOUP-- Primarily liquid, usually served warm and combining ingredients like meat and vegetables.
HARD SAUCE-- Sweet, rich dessert sauce made by creaming butter and sugar with liquor, often rum.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
