I know, they are endless. If I could do it that would just be one more thing that I would know just what was really in it and one more thing that I would not have to buy.

LOL And just why not? :lau I won't be doing the cauldron over the fire pit any time soon either but I do want to try to make HP soap. Have you made any liquid soaps?

Thanks for the info. Guess I will have to leave the house and go to the local Wally World and look. (I hate leaving the house :somad). Have you ever made the crock pot soap?

Where did everyone find their equipment at? I have been looking for a stainless steel pot and I have having a heck of a time finding one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Can you use a regular glass candy therometer or does it need to be one that is all metal?

I have never made soap but I have read this entire thread and there is a lot of good information here. I just have a question (one for now) :) Which is easier to start with a cp soap or a hp soap? Or does it make a difference?

It does great. You just need to remember to change the water in it at least every third day and more often if it is hot weather.

You are gonna LOVE the butter keeper. I have one and it is great. It keeps it at just the right spreading temp.

:yuckyuck :lau :gig

My mom made hominy when I was small. I think she put the corn in lye water and heated it up. I don't remember how long she cooked it. She used a large caludron over a wood fire outside. I do remember that it had to be washed several times in clean water. Her hominy never had any of the skins...

I do too. :frow Wonder if it is the same company

We have a Lil House outdoor wood stove that we put up 2 years ago. Two words to describe it "Love It" :clap. All of the wood mess is kept outside the house :ya. Hubby went to the local sawmill and bought bundles of slab wood for $15.00 per bundle. We cut them to length and figure each bundle...
