I'm only a few pages into it. It hasn't really grabbed me yet.
I ventured into soapmaking for the first time this weekend. I had a large amount of lard that I didn't want to waste. A couple of YT videos later and I was outside mixing lye, water and fat in the calculated ratios (http://soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp).
It was quite the learning experience. I definitely cut the soap loaf too soon as you can see from the mild slump in the bars on the curing rack. Also, wax paper does not peel off fresh soap; I had to cut it off.
This concoction does make suds though so it's not all bad news!

Hi nostr, this weekend is finally over and all visiting family is gone. This afternoon we put everything away, did some cleanup, and finally sat down for a bit. Tomorrow i'll do the turnover at the cabin, and that should be it. It was nice seeing everyone, but having a house full of people sure does throw off our scheduled chores. Anyway, we can rest now. Yall have a good evening nostr friends. Stay happy, healthy, and free. #grownostr #weekend #homesteading https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/8d9d2b77930ee54ec3e46faf774ddd041dbb4e4aa35ad47c025884a286dd65fa/59e875ca0aace6a5a012cf2de06510423d8ba6b5e42bcc47d85f71523ba0050a.webp
Last guest left our house on Friday from before Christmas. It is nice to get back into a routine.
Perhaps. It certainly wasn't there a month ago.
There is an interesting story here I'm sure.
