Oooooooo.... that's a great idea, Lisa! :) I never thought to use a rice cooker. I'll have to be careful the material though. My Hub and I have one and I can't touch the aluminum insides. Something about the texture sets me into fits of shivers. XD I would hate to have to make him wash the...

Oh Gosh. One of my husbandly pet peeves is that he leaves his socks under his computer desk in the living room. They used to be in the middle of the floor, but I've managed to get him to at least hide them. I second this, Sibi. I cook dinner and it is so yummy good... I make enough for...

Thanks much, Cat. I tried my crock pot idea and it failed to do anything but put a sweat on the soap chunks. I went out and bought a stainless steel cooking pot at a thrift store so I can go back to the double boiler method without using my cookware. I guess you shouldn't fix a method...

A friend of mine does this and sometimes I do because of a dyslexic tendency. Honestly, I think it's an Italian thing with people who do it a lot. My friend does it because his grandmother, who was native to Italy and fluent in Italian, said her th's like f's. Mostly it is the th's in center of...

So I went thrift shopping today. Even though I'm out of town, I figured I'd be productive. And I found awesome things. A new pot for a double boiler system so I don't need to microwave anymore, hooray! A stick blender for when I try cold process... and a brand new circle soap mold still in...

Oh man, I had to take advantage of this. I have: Apple Jack & Peel Creme Brulee Mountain Pine Vanilla Hazelnut Caramel Apple on the way to try. I can't wait. :D

Researching and dreaming of trying cold process soaps. Unfortunately an emergency took me out of town, so I can't try it until I get home. So I bought the book "The Everything Soapmaking Book" to tide me over until then.

Having been stuck in retail for a long while while in my teens and early twenties... I have a new respect for anyone who works behind any sort of a counter. I've worked at mall food kiosks, as a waiter, department and electronic retail stores and hotels as both a housekeeper and a front desk...

Oh, don't worry. I have no real intentions of leaving. I enjoy it here and it is an amazing resource site. I'm just saying this could have been handled better, that's all.

I have yet to see anything from anyone with a 'superior' attitude or even remotely unfriendly and I am as novice as they get as far as the questions I have and the help I need... Things like this scare me away from forums to be honest. This thread needs to be locked and removed, it is...

Then I have caved! You have me talking... and even taking pictures, which I'd never thought of doing until now. XD

Well, if those are the rules.. I suppose I can post some pictures. :) Thanks for the warm welcomes.

So... I'm trying to find a way to heat my MP soaps in large enough batches to make 3lb loaves. I have a four cup measuring cup that I used to hook on the side of a pot to make a double boiler type water jacket... but when the water would bubble, it would get into the soap. That and the...

Good evening and happy Fourth of July! I had the hardest time reading that silly confirmation code... just like I'll probably have a problem with the one I see at the bottom of this page. I can never tell if something is capitalized or not. XD Anyway, my name is Ann and I'm a 24 year old...
