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 a concept can be observed way back into the far past, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 `wonderful`. Later, there are two recipe books from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
