Thought that you might like to see what a day I had the other day!
I thought that I would try and do a HP soap, great stuff I thought. As I was about to pour the lye in to the milk, my mother turned up, giving me the fright of my life ( she isn't that scary she just surprised me!), so all of kilter I put the lye in too quickly to the milk. To cut a long story short, The mixture would come together when I stick blended, than seperate, come togther, seperate, then finally seperated, I had enough after about 1.5 hours ( you would think I would know by now to give up when I should!) I put it into the mould. It just got worse!
Next day placed in slow cooker on low for a few hours, gave it s good mix, and although not the bonniest of soaps, I think it will be ok, as it was made with Milk, Honey and Oatmeal, and I was attempting to do a cocoa swirl in the first instance, it does smell like chocolate biscuits!
My learning never stops!
