Last winter was a long and miserable one around here and we were really looking forward to spring. Well Spring has not been very nice to us either. Last weekind was the first time that I could leave the house in the morning without a coat. We have had cool weather and ALOT of rain! The Spring sales have been good so far (we are also in the auction business) and they are about to run me to death. This spring I have called sales in the Wind, Snow and Rain! I am ready for a nice, still and sunny day.
The goats have all finished kidding and we are in full swing milking, making cheese, yogurt and soap.
Speaking of soap I pulled a real stunt yesterday. I was going to split a batch of soap for two different fragerances. I usually soap in 9 pound batches. Well for some reason my memory failed me and I thought it was a 7 pound batch. I mixed all of the ingredients and got it to trace then seperated it into two batches weighing out 3 1/2 pounds and added my Fragerance. That is when things went south. The FO that I was using isn't supposed to acceralate but this stuff set up instantly! I quickly flopped it into the mold but it was already setting up.
I mixed the FO into the other 1/2 and poured it into the mold and then I realized that there was alot more soap in the 2nd half. So now I have 2 batches of screwed up soap. One with too much fragerance oil and one with not enough! Oh well live and learn, plus now we have alot of soap for us to use. lol.
If anybody needs some Monkey Farts soap with a real strong smell that is kind of cat crap yellow in color let me know. I can fix you up!
