Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Well, so far I have six that have more votes than others...
Blueberry
Apple Jack 'n' Peel
Peppermint Eucalyptus
Witches Brew
Hawaiian Breeze
Green Tea and Lemongrass

Yesterday, I got 3 batches of Oatmeal Milk and Honey, one batch of Green Tea and Lemongrass (with green tea in it) and one batch of Peppermint Eucalyptus (with peppermint leaves in it) done. They FINALLY came out of the molds (sometimes I swear it takes forever to get them out), and the molds are soaking for round two. If I can keep doing batches each day, I'll be able to get 15 done before I run out of grapeseed oil (which I'll be reordering today). Then I might switch over to salt bars until the new grapeseed oil comes in. I just used my last bar of Fels Naptha to get some laundry soap done. I was debating on using my own or the Fels, and went with Fels just to get rid of it. I have my glass pots now, so I'm debating on making up several pints of chocolate syrup next. I STILL need to get my english muffins and my pizza doughs done. Hopefully I can get all of the soap I need done for the rest of the year before the garden gets started up. I really need to start selling stuff instead of swapping it all away. $95 for ONE type of oil!

LOL!
"Hatching earlier and earlier each year, usually alone, and trying to hide the evidence." True. Sadly, so true.

Let me know when the soaps are ready!!

It'll be some time and depends on how the soap does when I make it. If some gels, the cure time is shorter, but if it doesn't gel, the cure time is longer. Some I can't gel because I'll overheat it and turn it into slop, lol.

No worries. I will wait.

Does grass seed go bad????

Not for a long time. I had a bag I found that was 5 years old (actually the bag was already falling apart when I found it) and it was still good.

I am going to be using my fridge full of goat milk in the next few weeks and would like to see if anyone would like to share soap recipes and tips with me. I am making cheese- making yogurt this weekend- soap hopefully in the next 2 weeks

 

[Bettacreek]

I can help out with questions and stuff. I don't share my recipe simply because it took me two years of research and trials to come up with a formula and perfect it, LOL. No way am I giving up my secrets on that one, LOL! Besides, formulating your own recipe makes it truely YOUR soap and exactly what YOU want. SwiftCraftyMonkey's blog is pretty good for researching which oils do what.

I am in a weird situation. I am a Christian, but I also have Native American roots. When I processed my first rooster last summer, I thanked him for giving his life that more life could go on. I thanked God that He has given us animals for food so that our lives can go on. It was a strange ritual to some, but it really helped me when I had to do it.

I don't think that's weird at all. I think its respectful.

x2. I also am Christian with Native American ancestry. I think that giving thanks shows a beautiful respect and recognition for the transfer of life.

I have a bag of grass seed that's a few years old but it isn't germinating at all.
