While Soldiers\, Marines\, and Sailors fou ght the Axis of Evil overseas\, women were fighting the war from their kit chens and factory floors. &ldquo\;Use it up\, wear it out\, make it do\, o r do without&rdquo\; was a rallying cry for those who met the challenge of food rationing rules and were limited to what was available at the butche r&rsquo\;s shop or growing in their Victory Gardens.  \;Kitchen grease and scrap aluminum needed to be salvaged to make ammunition. \; Food waste of any kind was unpatriotic. Travel back to the early 1940&rsquo\;s for a peek inside the pantries\, cupboards\, recipe books\, dinner tables and lunch boxes of the WWII home front.
