Why I love Heavy Metal Homesteader! I never got around to looking into this, so thanks for doing it for me, Kriscinda. I will strive to follow the recipe . . . ;-P
I’d been telling myself every time the dish soap gets low that I will look into making it. I finally did. So, here’s the recipe I used:
- 1 1/2 cups of hot water
- 1/2 of liquid Castile soap (I used Dr. Bronner’s)
- 1 tbsp of white vinegar
- 1tbsp of Arm & Hammer’s Super Washing Soda
- 1 tbsp of shredded bar soap (to thicken it)
- 1/8 teaspoon essential oil (I used lavender)
First, combine the ingredients into a large bowl, then pour in the water. Whisk/stir until blended.
This is where the picture-taking ends. At this point, it was still pretty liquidy, but it was hot and I was tired of stirring it. So, I went and took a hot bath.
While I was relaxing in the tub, Big A had a look at the concoction and decided it WAS NOT THICK ENOUGH. So he proceeded to grate half the bar…

Teehee! Yes…stick to the recipe! We made it work, but I’ll be excited to see how it should have turned out in the first place after we’ve gone through this batch. =) He meant well!
I’m well known for not sticking to recipes, patterns, etc. Not always with good results, but I never learn . . .
I get the feeling that after a couple of months my RSS Feed reader is going to be cram packed full again Linne ;). Cheers for a new blog to follow 😉
You’re welcome!! I love her blog. Always interesting and I learn lots.
*waves* Hi! =)
“waves back!!” nice to ‘see’ you! And now some of my followers like you, too!! Great wee village we’re forming here!
Hi Kriscinda fellow heavy metal fan (via one husband who plays lead and LOVES Metallica 😉 )…let us craft and headbang together. I mean who DOESN’T love ACDC eh? Might only be able to play 3 chords but what chords Angus! And he doesn’t fib about it…old 3 chord Angus is king of Aussie rock 🙂
Hey, don’t knock 3 chords!! Dylan started out that way, you know . . .
Nice when people I like also like each other. Not a requirement, of course, but I like it. And you’re both homesteaders, too!!
😉
Who needs more chords when you’re rockin’ a stylish school uniform? 😉
??? LOL
=)
I wanted to trade you a cute pic of Terry Woods from back when he had hair 🙂 Took me a while, but I found it again online:

This was after the album “Hell’s Ditch” came out. (the Pogues, did I mention?)
Cute!! Have to confess to complete ignorance, here . . . who is it, exactly? (hangs head in shame . . .)
I should probably listen to more Pogues. =) Oh, the pic is Angus Young from AC/DC…iconic. =)
I’d seen the pic before, but couldn’t think who it was . . . Thanks!
I love the early Pogues. There’s a 13 min segment on YouTube that I played a lot in my own place, and lits of other bits I like. One funny one is them doing ‘Irish Rover’ with the Dubliners (post Luke Kelly 😦 ); the older musicians trying to psych out the young ones; fun to watch.
Hahaha, that’s funny… =)
Yeah, I love it! It was the second video I ever saw of them. The first was “If I Should Fall from Grace with God”. I hope that is uploaded again soon; it was great to watch AND listen to; I still see certain shots when I hear the song. Terry Woods on the cithern is outstanding!!
