1/4 cup liquid detergent, preferably dawn w, ater
1 tsp sugar or
3 tbsp glycerine, (can be purchased in most
Directions
Mix all ingredients in a flat container such as a dishpan or baking
pan. You can make bubbles with purchased wands, but it's much more
fun to make your own bubble blowers from items you find around the
house. For example, poke the bottom out of a paper cup and dip the
end in the mixture; also try a slotted spoon, a plastic berry basket,
and drinking straws.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later, there are two recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that period. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
