Good photography! I like the natural look.

I meant it did not produce a non-gooey bar. I didn't have a problem with the batter using the SB.

Those look perfect and the presentation is lovely! I love the idea of dried peaches- I've done dried cherries which are tasty. I also make a glaze or sprinkle them with sugar. You're so good! I don't wait for them to cool :-D And yes, the dough is good as well :-D. One of these days I'll pull...

This just gets better and better :-D There should be a prize :-D

Lol! I like that idea: crust chunks in cheesecake. I'll have to try that. My daughter is wanting me to make cheesecake soon:-)

Oh my! I feel my waistline growing bigger already!

This thread is a favorite cheesecake recipe:-)

I got liquid when I used the SB. I got holes in my soap from over heating (probably over insulated). It's funny how much difference there is in this recipe between using an SB and hand stirring.

Hand stir or SB? Insulated or no?

This is a family favorite cheesecake recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/No-Bake-Blueberry-Cheesecake-with-Graham-Cracker-Crust-108320 It's no-bake (except crust) and uses fresh blueberries and very pretty! Cheers! Anna Marie

Better that then other things :-D

I've been saying I should be certified for the last 6 months (long story) :-)

It makes me want a candy cane :-)

I think I could give you some competition, but I don't think we would win this contest by a long shot :-) :-). At least your area is tidy. I need to organize as you can see in the picture. I also need to organize my sewing area, my paper crafting area, my gardening area, my painting area..... ;)...

Those are beautiful swirls! I love the various shades of red! Cheers! Anna Marie

Newbie, I love your spirit. Your kind of like me that way in that I don't like something to defeat me, and so I need to settle the score:-) I am truly mystified at all the trouble you've have with this soap, but I love that you keep going :-) Cheers! Anna Marie

Well, I've been using my soap daily with no ill consequence. My skin feels a little taut after cleaning, but that goes away in about a minute. No drying. No flaking. Nothing. This soap is rock hard and lasts forever! I may try it as laundry soap too. Since I've been using it for a couple weeks...

Regarding Neener's comment: I've had new appliances do that before as well- the new appliance christening. It maybe that it's already run it's course, but no harm trying. Glad to help bring some peace of mind :-) :-) Cheers! Anna Marie

Is there a chance that the smell is actually the crock pot itself? Occasionally my kitchen appliances go haywire and give off weird smells.

Dennis is right. You won't forget it if you inhale lye fumes. As far as your housemate goes it sounds like she is just sensitive to smells- I really don't think it was a lye fumes issue. My mom is that way, and that makes her a very poor gauge unfortunately when regulating smells. If it was lye...
