Super cool! Just like I did it. So VERY glad that you are doing a picture journal of the process. Maybe it will encourage others to join in. :cool: Really and truly the fleshing (or scraping off the fat and tissue) is the worst part - the rest was a blast! Also wanted to throw in there...

My doctor prescribed a sulfur soap bar from the local pharmacy for acne. It was over the counter. Now I make my own. ;)

:hide Bought my salt bulk at Tractor Supply. :ep Fine white stock salt and or iodized salt in a 50 pound bag. I am sure my death is imminent from consuming animal feeds. :lau :gig

SHHH. Don't tell anyone ... I use a big old antique kitchen scale for all of my soap making measurements. :hide It is a dial faced scale and did I mention :old old? This baby is still darned accurate, so why oh why do I need a new one. BTW my soap is nice and mild. :D

I am SO glad that you finally got to go on a nice trail ride and enjoy yourself for a change! :cool: Isn't is a wonderful feeling to see how nice your horse is responding and to know that it was ALL you! Do you notice any similarities in these two situations? Why is it that you are always...

You need to do it in small batches when you use a blender. I much prefer using my food processor to whiz my soap. Also remember to use some of the powder (I use the borax) with the pre-grated soap. That keeps the machine from getting gunked up. The first time I tried it I tried chunks of...

Yesterday ... 4 quarts of pear halves and 16 pints of pear quarters in medium syrup.
