Thank goodness! I almost deleted that post. I thought I was weird.
ETA. Actually, I am. But that's beside the point.

I tried that 'being normal' stuff...didn't like it..came back to being my weird self..I could never be this happy being 'normal'
In addition to "horse barn" smell, I also love the smell of fresh turned earth and green growing things.

Susie so do I , nothing compares to soil when freshly moved. I am gardener too. Horses I have to put my two cents. I am allergic to a lot of things and to animal hair.
When I was grown up I was determined to ride the horses to clean the horses to spend time with the horses. I had already succesfull career as a designer and boxers breeder, and judging them on the dog shows. I lacked the horses
)
I honestly believe that my determination to have contact with the beautiful animals, overcome my allergies) Love the smell of them, the smell of barn, the hay, the lather........I was deprived of going to village of being on the farm......what a waste
I have memories connected to the lard and I had not smell piggy in the lard I buy in store. Even If I smell something it is nice smell for me)

I have a huge yard. I love going outside after a good hard rain. My dogs know how much I love it, so they bring that "wet earth" smell back in the house for me and leave it all over my bed. Aren't they just the absolute BEST? (Chase is probably out gathering scent as I write this. Ivy is brown and the white is Shredder.)

So now I discover that Deb has been using the 75% lard 10% coconut bars (first page this thread) and has come to really like it. Of course I gave away the last bar a couple of days ago and haven't made more.
The good news is that I have tried a bar of the 80% lard with no coconut and a little sugar (detailed a couple of pages back), and though it is only about 10 days old it is already very good. I don't miss the coconut at all, and the sugar seems to give the lather a nice boost. Judging by this preview it should be really great once it's cured properly.
