So, boys are out of the house at college, been traveling for work the past 6 weeks, haven't been able to make soap. Coming home tonight, I have a trip to the Minnesota Renaissance Faire this weekend, I usually make bathbombs for the hotel for my wife, not sure if I'll have time to make them...

Growing up in North East Iowa, I've seen Eagles all over, more now than in the past. Something has changed that causes the Bald Eagles to come deeper into Iowa from Minnesota the past few years. We've been having a huge return of wild life, when I was young I occasionally would see a coyote...

I've spent a decent amount of time in London, and have done exactly what you suggest.

Passau Germany, and Linz Austria. There will be a few day trips to different areas. I promise to be a perfect Gentleman while there. Also going to Regansburg, and Nabburg.

Well, my wife is from Bavaria, supposedly the Pretzel capitol of the world.

Ok, getting ready to go to Germany and Austria in less than 2 months to visit my better half's family. I need the list of must dos, must sees. My better half said I have to behave while there. Not sure what she meant by that. I know she doesn't like it when I juggle apples at the grocery...

I don't know, but is it just me or is it wearing white sunglasses in the second photo?

In the past I've added poppy seeds, and they usually work fine, but 1 time they bleed brown, any thoughts? Was it the type of poppy seeds I used? Tones poppy seeds from the spice isle at the market.

It's just an odd feeling. Here is a picture of the dogs, it's old, Stripe's (Baloo) parents Meadow and Storm are the right 2 dogs.

Both boys are off to college today. Just me and the dogs. So now the house becomes a creative workshop....

I think it depends on the ingredients of the soap, the shape, the cure time, and the overall stress on the bar. I've been told Stearic Acid and Beeswax help make strong bars, and well as hard butters and oils. If you have strong hands, you maybe scrubbing and stress the structural integrity of...

Not sure, but this technique could be used to make soaps that look like various granite stones.

In my experience, fragrance oils work better for scents, Essential Oils work for the properties of the herb/plant.

My grandmother insisted it would improve language skills.

Are you using a distilled water? It kinda looks like hard water minerals like salts crystallizing. Not sure though. So it could also be sugar crystallizing depending how much you use.

I'm thinking of making one for myself, and the back could be the Sun with spires coming off.
