Thought you lived in Oz for a while.@AliOop
Since I can't look it up, then unless @KiwiMoose DMs me the answer, I will have to wait until you tell me what it is. But with those names, I'm just not sure I really want to know.
I have absolutely NO idea. Some things obviously never make it out of Australia - even though we understand most of their slang here in NZ.
It's nothing nasty, rhyming slang. An easy meal that dh didn't have to cook, but just heat up. Go on look it up.Since I can't look it up, then unless @KiwiMoose DMs me the answer, I will have to wait until you tell me what it is. But with those names, I'm just not sure I really want to know.
Ok, I looked it up and feel sooo much better now!
You might have and not known it, unless you are vegetarian.
Well, for me, I made one batch after another trying to figure out the "perfect" recipe so I actually do have a huge basket full of bars of soap that I have to use up before I make more (or my husband might have a soap induced stroke). And since nobody in my circle of friends and family wants to try soap with no colors or fragrances, I did end up having soap pile up!Well.. I mean there are solid and liquid cleansers that contain surfactants + moisturizers that are gentler than real soap on the face for example or very dry skin..The best recipe for me was without coconut oil and very little olive oil, I found that I can't tolerate these oils in soap, they dry me out.Yes, I can tolerate them in small amounts on my body but not my hands or face..
I seem to have fallen into the trapā
Does it seem like an incomprehensible sentence? I am writing with Google Translate and maybe this is one of his creations
Rephrased: The great thing about soap making is that you never have a lot of soap left over. It uses up a lot of soap.
That right there!
That's interesting about 6 ingredients being your "ideal" combination because I once thought about doing a 10/10 soap (10 ingredients/10% each ingredient), you know, out of curiosity. I tried to keep a balance of hard & soft oils & butters ~ it was ok, but not spectacular. And I already knew the Holy Trinity soap wasn't a good recipe for me either. So I've been experimenting and it looks like 5 or 6 ingredients will be the sweet spot!
I'm mostly just replying to this so I can find it easier when I get my hand on some lard.
It looks like a great recipe to try.
You can read post #13 in this thread for how I get "free" lard from my pork roasts.I'm mostly just replying to this so I can find it easier when I get my hand on some lard.
Do you cook you roasts plain or with stuff? Cause when we cook roasts like that it's either with ingredients (spices, onions, salsa, etc depends on the recipe) or my husband likes to either cure them and turning it into bacon or smoke it for pulled pork.You can read post #13 in this thread for how I get "free" lard from my pork roasts.
I like to do add Hawaiian Red Alaea salt to my pork roasts, along with some smoke flavor and garlic. By keeping it simple, that lets me do different flavorings for different dishes when I pull a serving out of the freezer: carnitas, enchiladas, pulled pork with gravy and mashed potatoes, etc. It also means that the rendered fat isn't as hard to clean. I learned the hard way that some spices like chili and cumin always leave a scent in the lard, so I wait to add those later.
Thank you so much
The truth is that I don't like unscented soap either, but I convince my family of its benefitsWell, for me, I made one batch after another trying to figure out the "perfect" recipe so I actually do have a huge basket full of bars of soap that I have to use up before I make more (or my husband might have a soap induced stroke).

That's right, we don't have palm oil readily available but I ordered it to try and made the standard recipe. I didn't like it, it's too drying, although the bubbles are great. I find that the recipes I like have at least 5 oils in them.That's interesting about 6 ingredients being your "ideal" combination because I once thought about doing a 10/10 soap (10 ingredients/10% each ingredient), you know, out of curiosity.

I had been making soap for āfunā for some time and then our son asked if I would want to do so to supply their business (they own the largest lavender farm in Missouri). I said āsureā thinking they would be selling a couple of dozen bars a week. Sold over 7000 bars last year! I love the process itself. I love making soap that people love to use. I especially love the feel of my soap on my body. I love learning how to make my soaps better - always learning and loving it. I also turn out body butter, salves, balms - I thought I was retired - now I am putting in as many hours as when I was working full time and loving it!I was totally in it for skin issues ~ and I learned a LOT about how to actually formulate a gentle cleansing bar ~ because it wasn't exactly what I thought it was supposed to be!
Now I'm busy using up all my not quite perfect soaps and will soon be making more
I got excited when I first figured it out too! I did a bunch of searches to find those posts and tagged them!Lol! So apparently you can bookmark specific posts! Had no idea you could do that! Much better way to save recipes and info.
