1 bisquick drop biscuits
1 french vanilla ice cream
1 fresh sliced strawberries
1 fresh whipped cream
Directions
This is a really easy dessert, loaded with calories, and not for the
faint-of-heart!
Make the bisquick drop biscuits as directed on the package, BUT add 1
tb of sugar (or 2, if you like). Bake as directed.
While still warm, cut in half and put the bottom half in a bowl.
Cover with fresh strawberries (which you have marinated in 4 Tb sugar
in the refrigerator for 2 days), add a scoop or two of French vanilla
ice cream, and then top with the top layer of the biscuit.
Now, cover with more strawberries and top with fresh whipped cream.
Enjoy!

The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, rue and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
