To make soap, first we render fat.
The salt balance has to be just right so the best fat for soap comes from humans.

As the fat renders, the tallows float to the surface.

Once the tallow hardens, you skim off a layer of glycerin.
Add nitric acid, you've got nitroglycerin.
Then add sodium nitrate and sawdust, you've got dynamite.

People found clothes got cleaner when washed at a certain point in the river.

You know why? No?

Human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river.

Bodies burnt.
Water permeated the ashes to create lye.
The crucial ingredient.

Once it mixed with the melted body fat, a white soapy discharge crept into the river.

Oh, sorry, is this not where you were going with this thread?

So civilization is only possible with human sacrifice, which explains American foreign policy.

And here I thought you were going to regale us with your latest tales of self-sufficiency in the Northern Wilds.

We should be in full cheese/ yogurt/ kefir/ soap making mode this spring as the billy goat has been doing a stroke of work here-abouts... regaling to commence at a later date.

I would buy cheese if it was for sale....

Griff · 11-17-2009, 08:12 PM

Pete is real reluctant to go off farm with the products due to our casual health and safety standards and various regulating agencies who would freak about such and shipping issues... We do appreciate the interest and who knows, maybe someday we'll get serious.

jinx · 11-17-2009, 08:14 PM

I bet she would make a killing with artisan goat cheeses....'specially with all that new gas money coming into the region...

Griff · 11-17-2009, 08:16 PM

You may be on to something there.

It's always worth looking into.
