Makes me wonder if their pain tolerance is higher or they are just dumber than the older pigs or smarter figuring the pain of the fence is short lived and the running free and wild is worth it ? It doesn't much matter as customers who come to buy meat and milk enjoy being escorted up the drive by live pork chops.
Enough about bacon lets talk lard, as in soap. Going mostly natural is working well for me. Nothing like sipping on a Diet Coke and snacking on Lays potato chips while I am mixing up all organic oils and steel cut oats for my soaps. One complex babe, yes tis she.
I turned the corner a few weeks ago when I looked at some of my more brightly colored soaps and decided I really liked the earthy ones. This soap was colored with organic coffee and scented with Sandalwood EO. Swirls were just made with the uncolored part of the soap batch and a wee bit of powdered sugar. Non-organic.If I'm anything, I'm inconsistent.
Scented with an Amyris, Rosemary EO combo it is heady and earthy and makes me want to light it up like a big fat...stick of incense. Yeah, thats it. Incense. (Of course I am kidding. Everyone knows marijuana is illegal, immoral and interacts with Maalox in a nasty way)
Everything about this post made me happy. I was smiling the whole time.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I are enjoying the pork, beef and milk we picked up a couple of weeks ago. Made some cheeses, yogurt, ice cream and butter. Even the neighbors tried some milk and said "hey it tastes like milk"...ah...duh. LOL
ReplyDeleteJulie LOVES your soap. We are talking about driving down after the fourth and picking up more milk and soap. This batch will go into making some hard cheeses which I'll be trying to make for the first time.
Hopefully, we'll get to meet you.
Doug and Julie
Just loved the sight of those little bacon bits running around loose. That is pure happiness.

MBJ. Not only do they run around gleefully, they also meet us at the back door. Nutcases.(us not them)
Petra, I'm not sure about brave but we are excited about our new world coming up. Want to buy a great certified organic farm ?
Miss Effie,I crack me up too. My family gets a little bored by me which is why I had to take my show on the road.
ReplyDeleteRare, if you want to email me at opies99@gmail.com we can discuss sending suds across the pond. Yes, I know, I still owe your yard pics
Amyris oil appears to lack the well documented, historically rich background of other essential oils. This is largely due to
ReplyDeletethe fact that the botanical origin of the tree that is used to produce amyris oil,
The sweet, balsamic, wood-like fragrance of Amyris oil allows it to blend well with geranium oil, pine oil, spruce oil, cedar
wood oil, myrrh oil, galbanum oil, frankincense oil, cypress oil, clove oil, aniseed oil, lemon oil, orange oil,
Commonly found in soaps and other 'Sandalwood' products in place of 'true' Sandalwood, Amyris supports vibrant physical
health by helping to remove physical and etheric toxins that congest and distort the body. An alternative choice in place of
the endangered 'true' Sandalwood, Amyris is a healthy, inexpensive and sustainable substitute in many aromatherapy
applications.
Thank's
and
Regard's
