Home made Mayonnaise

 Nothing better than a home made recipe, even if it is archaic and a bit abstract.

Hand Lotion from Emil FIscher's in NYC in 1940


 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh My Goodness I was so excited to stumble upon this recipe card in my box. It's not a food but rather a body product which fits right in with this blog. My only questions is, what is Carbolic Acid?

This recipe is credited to "Emil Fischer's Altruistic Prescription Pharmacy" in NYC. 

Ingredients

1 pint bay Rum
1 pint Rose Water
1 pint glycerine
a few drops carbolic acid also called phenol

Emil Fischer's
Altruistic Prescription Pharmacy

Well that dates this!
