A Conversation at Safeway Regarding Soap
I was at Safeway tonight, waiting in line behind a guy in a Whole Foods shirt (I found this amusing), when he addressed me:
“Excuse me; can I ask you something?”
“Of course.”
“What do you use coconut oil for? What sort of things do you cook with it?”
“Actually, I’m not going to cook with it at all–I’m going to make soap with it.”
“Soap?”
“Yes. That’s what I’m using the Crisco and the peanut oil for as well. I’m getting a bunch of different kinds of fat, and then I’m going to make soap from them and make a web page about it.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Kinda a silly thing, but it should be fun.”
I imagine this guy thought I was completely weird, but considering the fact that I have a shelf that looks like this, he might be right:
So, inspired by the Cockeyed.com Science Club and the MOTD guy’s experiments, I will soon be posting pictures and experiences from my adventures in the world of soapmaking. Stick around; this will be fun!
Next: Background.
