Ok, I had planned a long photo essay about our soap making adventures today. But, instead, I have a question. Does anyone out there in blog land make soap? Can you tell me what is up with these weird curds? And how do I fix this? Thank you!

Survey says, this is a foul mess. And I can't even throw it away. I have to BURY it. Ah well, live and learn. :)

Go to the grocery store. Choose package of soap. Hand cashier $5 and then go home, run hot water and wash.

I know this is useless, but so am I.

Soap is one of those things that seems so essential and so easy for those who know how the HELL to get the job done.

Oh Val, I was explaining to my husband what happened. He said, "You've created Hazardous Materials?!" Because I have. Apparently, the lye precipitated. I can't throw it in the compost. I can't put it down the drain. I can't put it in the trash. I have to actually take it to haz mat. Ahh, fun times. :)
