Homemade Fabric Softener, Marble Cleaner, Copper Cleaners and more

At any given time I have about 50 cookbook, 50 cooking magazines, 9 hand written notebooks, 3 binders and a couple recipe boxes out... but wouldn't you know that the 1 cookbook in particular that I wanted today must be packed away in a box in storage. (Oh what I wouldn't give for more room in this kitchen!) So off I went to search the storage room for it and although I never found it (I seem to recall possibly letting a friend borrow it now that I think about it...) I did find a piece of paper that made me smile and I decided to add it to my blog.

On a single piece of notebook paper, ripped out of a long forgotten notebook (the frayed edges still on the left hand side) I have handwritten 6 recipes in pen. I seem to recall copying them down in a far away and long forgotten memory and if it serves me correctly it would have been around 1995 or 1996.

Here is exactly what I had written down;
