Just as a follow up, I searched Amazon and there is a bakery selling strawberry rhubarb pies for $48 per pie (shipping inclusive) if your wife ever wants to get in the market. I'm hesitating, but I'm sure by tomorrow I'll just buy the pie, even though I only want a piece, because the reviews...

LOL, after reading this post I feel pretty sorry for myself! there was a time when I tried like every diner, every pie shop, every smaller looking place that seemed like they might have something special like that, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Now I'm on a pandemic mission to get myself...

So, I've been trying to do the technique below for...lets see....days now. I've had limited success. A big part of the problem is that the last time I tried this design, I soaped at around 85 degrees and when I blended to emulsification, the batter was fine, but when I left it to thicken, it...

@Vicki C and @Misschief - I really love sour/sweet stuff so now the idea of a strawberry rhubarb pie sounds really intriguing But then....just as I thought I might take a risk, I read @AliOop 's post and realized there is a good chance I'd end up poisoning myself. Which, all things considered...

I have wanted to try some sort of rhubarb dish for a while just because I have no idea what it tastes like. I've never had it and I cannot find a single place in these parts that carries a rhubarb pie. Because I am not particularly good at pie making I don't want to try making it on my own...

Thats good to know about the Magnolia leaf and Tonka bean, I haven't used it yet, but I am sniffing it all the time and am totally in love. Good information about the Rose and Black Pepper.....it was on my list of f/o to try, but maybe I'll scratch it (my current list is 5 pages long, so its no...

Oh thats good information, thank you! @Todd Ziegler 's homemade VCS with only the metiasulfate (SP) was SUPER helpful with another discoloring f/o. I had no idea it might work for f/o without vanillian. Thanks a million! fingers crossed! Thank you, I love having as many links to this as I...

I just bought a ton of FO on the last day of the WSP 25% off sale. I few of them discolor to yellow after cure but don't have vanillian im not sure how im going to accommodate that.

My birthday is in like 8 months. I should treat myself too :)

I've heard lard is a good sub for coconut oil. Zany also has a 100% olive oil recipe. I like a book format too, but if you want pretty basic info you can check out soaping 101 on YouTube. I got a good soapmaking book but like 99.9999% of the recipes call for coconut oil so it wouldn't be a...

Thank you! I'll check it out! So, I was trying to do this But ended up with this!

I had planned on making two soaps, but I had to catch up on some work so I only had time to make one. Circular Taiwan swirl. I like it, but hope the pink comes out brighter. This FO (mint and raw sugar from WSP tends to discolor the batter a little but it brightens up after it gels...in my...

I think your soap is lovely! And I think that its incredibly sweet that your wife loves it even though its not perfect, after all, isn't that what love is? Now that I'm done navel gazing and philosophizing, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring, in case you decide to take a second shot. I...

yes please and thank you! On my todo list now!

This is a fantastic idea! A friend just gifted me some lovely cavity molds and this is a great opportunity to use them!

Thanks. I think I'll just make another batch and be more careful this time I'm making it for a woman going through chemo and my nephew so I don't want to risk it. I'll probably see if I can use it on my skin. Thank again!

Thank you! And sorry. Totally my bad for not being a more careful reader! If I was able to slice it, is it okay to use? I got it cut, I just had to put all my piddly upper body strength into it! Thanks again for the recipe. I'm very excited about it! Super amped to get to try it out in 2...

I made a loaf of zanys no slime castile on Friday, unfolded it yesterday and cut it today. The soap is a beautiful and creamy color But it was really, REALLY hard when I tried cutting it. My single bar slicer got stuck 1/4, of the way into the first bar and I had to get my old box and...

I've seen her drop swirl video but have not seen a video where the shape of the drops are altered to hearts.

I remember when the yearly McRib craze was breaking news. Oh those were the days! Oh my, I love tbar design. Is there a video or tutorial on it? I never knew you could reshape the "drops" like that. I dont want to steal your secret sauce so if you can't tell me I totally understand...but...
