Just about time.

Bedtime.  For having done so little I am tired.  I needed rest, and took it.

Souffles, soon, again.  Just to hammer them home.  Bread again sometime in the next few days.  Perhaps custard?  Sure thinking about it.  Souffle is too delicate to gift, but custard can handle transport.  Plus it helps while learning one of the lines of sauces in French cooking.  Yeah, still on about that, and getting back to it.  If you know sauces you can sell shoeleather dinners at a healthy profit.  Just a note about the reason.  One of them.

What next?  Making soap at home.  Why?  It's cheaper, all ingredients are known, picked.  I can customize to my tastes.  I can make bar, liquid, dish, and laundry soaps, stain removers, and a few other items.  Besides being cheaper it is, simply, another hobby.  Remember when I suggested I needed hobbies?  Right.

I believe, with a good liquid base, most other liquid bases can be derived.  Initially the goal is simple liquid body soap.  I don't much care for sandlewood, but would like to figure out some scents that are masculine.  I'll review some of my shaving creams, soaps, and aftershave lotions.  Hmm, a dash of my favorite face burner might work.

Well, and there is the learning, doing, and prep side to it.  I'm not sure how long supplies last.  But I have a rough idea how to create lye, fat is always as close as a food animal, and water is, perhaps, 200 yards away?  Though figuring that all from scratch might...  Hmm, after I get going, I might have to work it out from ashes, raw fats (been meaning to get to tallow and lard anyway), and using overflow water after clearing it for use.  Just to know.  One thing at a time though.

Hmm?  Oh, just thinking out loud again.  Good night.  [21:11]
