		<description><![CDATA[Did I mention that I made butter with my family a while ago? It was fun, and pretty easy&#8211;I recommend doing it. You can see the photoset on Flickr. Apparently, someone chose one of the photos to illustrate the Wikipedia article about butter.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a bit late, but I wanted to get done with the soapmaking so I could start concentrating on posting this story. Only three oils remained. The first was jojoba:


Jojoba oil is weird. It&#8217;s a liquid, and not a particularly viscous one (I think this has to do with the degree of saturation), but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I decided to fix the blender with epoxy resin. Epoxy is really interesting stuff, almost like a plastic analog of concrete (which is my nominee for Most Underappreciated Material, but that&#8217;s another story). This page has a nice explanation of how they work.


I mixed the resins together and glopped it onto the housing. I knew [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First: thanks for the link, MOTD! I hope your readers enjoy the soapy adventures.
Anyway. Now for peanut oil! George Washington Carver and all that.


This peanut oil has vitamin E added to it. No idea how that&#8217;s going to change things; I seem to recall something about it acting as a preservative or perhaps accelerating curing. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We haven&#8217;t made an animal-fat soap yet. Let&#8217;s try lard.
When the Black Table kids made soap, they started from bacon, and rendered the fat themselves, but cautioned readers that the procedure &#34;smell[s] like a short-order cook after a triple shift.&#34; It is uncertain whether bacon bits have the same problem. Anyway, I decided to skip [...]]]></description>

Prior: A mixture, and walnut.
Next: Lard, canola oil, and PIRATES!

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I was just going to make single-oil soaps, but coconut and olive oil soaps have interestingly complementary properties, so perhaps half-and-half . . .



50 g olive oil
50 g coconut oil
38 g water
16.2 g lye (the arithmetic mean of the numbers used in the last entry)
The mixed oil looked like this:

		<description><![CDATA[I decided to start with olive oil, because I had a bunch of it, it was relatively cheap (especially for the lower grades&#8211;you get no benefit from extra-virgin in soap; I just used it because I had it around), and it makes a classic soap.
You&#8217;ll frequently see people advertising &#8220;Castile&#8221; soap. This comes from the [...]]]></description>

I tried it, one by one, and hours apart.
Sub-acid, and not bad, no ill effects;
and so I made home-brew. . . .
Home-made, home-made! But aren&#8217;t we all?
I felt a deep affection for
the smallest of my island industries.
