Story of Macaroni

  • Various historical sources indicate that macaroni was used in the Ancient Rome, Arabian and Chinese civilizations. In the excavations made in "Cerveteri" near Rome, devices that were used in making macaroni belonging to the Ancient Rome period were found. It is thought that the Lasagna type macaroni, called "lagana" by the Romans belongs to this period. Apicio, who lives in the 1st century after Christ, mentions of Lagana in his work of art named "De re coquinaria".
  • There are more sources related with macaroni in the Arabian civilizations. We learn from the works of the Arabic historians that macaroni was transported with caravans and vessels in the 10th century and by great conquests, macaroni was introduced to various nationalities for the first time by this way.
  • In the Chinese civilizations, the use of macaroni has an older history. It is known that macaroni was consumed in China in the 1700s before Christ. It is known that explorer Marco Polo has brought with him the macaroni type called "Spaghetti" in 1292 after the voyage he made to China.
  • As a result, we see that macaroni is used in many civilizations and is produced in different types. We can say that macaroni has developed in the course of time and modern macaroni types are made with the use of technology.

A nice short story


A little bee

Bees make honey. They fly to the thousand flowers to make honey in a day. They collect the pollen from flowers.
One day a little bee flied out of its house to collect the pollen from flowers. It was flying and finding out the flowers that have the pollen too much. It was perching on the flowers that it liked. While it was collecting the pollen, it was singing very nice songs to the flowers. Because if it sings very nice songs for the flowers that it perched on, the flowers would give it too much pollen. This little bee was doing this, because it would like all flowers. The other bees weren’t doing in this way. So the flowers weren’t giving them the
too much pollen and so they need to fly to flowers too much more. The little bee would always come back to its house early from the other. The other bees all would look at a little bee in surprise. The honey that have made from the pollen that the little bee collected was sweet more.
A bee would always collect the pollen that it found on the flowers, but this little bee wasn’t only collecting the pollen that it found. It would also share its happiness with the flowers by singing a song. This was the secret of the little bee.

Blue Bead

This is my first blog on the web.
At the moment, I don't know what to write. It's so difficult to find a topic to write. :)
This blog is my first blog and at the same time, it'll be last. And I don't think I'll use another blog if I want to write something, but I'm thinking that I'll fill with the writings that I'll set in the course of time.
It's time to leave here now.
See you soon. ;)
