CHEAPER AND BETTER
1 cup mineral oil
1 tsp lemon oil
MAKE IT YOURSELF
1 pt mineral oil aka paraffin oil
2 tsp oil of lemon
Directions
** This polish is every bit as effective as the purchased product,
and it should be used sparingly to best effect. Too much polish, wax,
or oil on your furniture will only trap more dust, so work harder to
buff this solution off than to pour it on.
Pour into the clean container of your choice. Close tightly, label
and keep out of the reach of children.
To Use: If you like to spray-and-polish, store this solution in a
pump-type container. If you like to rub your furniture quietly, store
the solution in a squeeze-type container and apply it to an old sock
that you've slipped over your hand, then rub away. In either case,
use only a little bit of the polish at a time and then buff the
surface with a clean cloth or sock. 8 oz
Gift note from me: Include a man's white tube sock with lace and/or a
ribboned bow to use for a cleaning cloth.
Servings: 1 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
