Found my great-aunt's recipe for 'Depression Cake' in a box of old papers. No eggs, no butter, no milk. Made it yesterday. Hit 87 years since she wrote it down.

That's such a cool piece of family history to find!

Cool is a stretch. Digging up old family stuff mostly uncovers a bunch of dead people you're obligated to care about now. Rowanj21, it just adds pressure to feel a connection to strangers because you share some genes. Half the time you find out your great-grandfather was kind of a jerk, and then what. It's a burden dressed up as a gift.
