The Canola and Safflower oil that I find on the grocery shelves is High Oleic - Much less prone to DOS. Look for a higher amount of Monounsaturated fat, around 80% of total fat. http://www.oilseedssf.com/products/international/ho-safflower-oil.php#fragment-1

Made this Honey Oatmeal Cream. Turned out rather nice. Unfortunately DW thinks it smell like baby spit up. I think it has a nice butterscotch note.

DF folds bags out of old Atlas Maps.

why re-invent the stick blender?

Powder goat milk is quite handy! Stick blend into the soft oils. I like to use distilled water as the lye water because it's easier to strain out the precipitate after adding edta or Citric acid. Might be cheaper too, I get mine from Vitacost.

Try this Olive Oil 40% Coconut oil 25% Lard 35% SF 5% add 2% dried, sifted Spent coffee Grounds add 2% Citric acid to reduce the "soap scum". Add .6246 gram additional lye for every gram of citric acid. Good Luck, Roy
