01Home · Updated family recordDry Dishwasher Detergent: Recorded Recipe & ResultsThe original written recipe is confirmed: washing soda, borax, citric acid, salt and sodium percarbonate. An early family batch cleaned very well; a later altered batch left white film, and its exact contents were uncertain.02Home · Updated family recordLiquid Castile Dish Soap: Recipes & Batch HistoryA family-made liquid dish soap once removed all grease from a heavily coated pot in one wash. The exact successful ratios were not preserved. Later batches became tacky, low-lather, greasy when enlarged, or too thin, so the versions must remain separate.03Home · Updated family recordLiquid Laundry Soap: Recovered Baseline & Fabric-Wear NotesThe two-gallon written baseline is recovered. The exact preferred family variant and the later fabric-wear problem remain unresolved; this is a source record, not approval to resume the formula.04Kitchen · Updated family recordDuck-Egg Angel Food CakeA complete one-pan working recipe with weighed whites, a clear sugar split and careful cooling. This is a new reference formula, not a claim to reconstruct the uncertain double batch.05Kitchen · Updated family recordPineapple Tepache & the Vinegar ExperimentA complete recovered pineapple-rind recipe, with cinnamon and cloves. The family's maple-syrup and continuing-vinegar experiments are kept as separate variations, not silently substituted for the written base.
