October 15, 2006 - Soap
Today was another day to revive an ancient, somewhat forgotten task - making soap from scratch - in this case rendered beef and pork fat, lye, and goat milk. The folks from Morning Sun farm came over to finish what we had started a few months ago when the fat was rendered.
Everybody looks pleased to finally see the soap being poured into the mold without any lye burns. In 6 weeks we’ll be able to test out this batch.
