Biggest Lies of Our Times – 2nd Update

I spent one hour trying to get through to one’s company’s customer service. I failed. Final score, Customer Service = 1, Me = 0. This is, by no means, an isolated event. So, I am updating the list of modern times’ biggest lies.

1) Persimmon bread tastes great  It makes you so happy that you burst with get up and go. NASA’s scientist Carl La Fong theorized that the energy  in persimmon bread would make NASA rockets get up and go easily out of Earth’s gravitational field. But the persimmon-bread powered rocket got up and went out of the Solar System in just one week. Now no one knows where the rocket might be.

Thanksgiving Dinner

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. This will be a relatively short post as I slept rather poorly last night and I am tired from the effort of so much cooking.

I made brined turkey breast, cranberry sauce, gravy, dinner rolls, creamy garlic mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, and whipped cream. Number Two Son made stuffing. I’ll try to make pumpkin milk shakes tomorrow. No other cooking tomorrow as there are lots of leftovers. Again, best wishes to everyone.

How I Hope to Improve My Outlook

My stunt double

Events and health have depressed me greatly.

I hope to become calmer and perhaps happier by making recipes, cooking, blogging, reading books, and not following what happening out there.

Minnie Mouse Latch Hook Project – Part 4

The epic Minnie Mouse Latch project continues. At the very beginning, little pockets of colored yarn were splattered all over the upper-right corner. Also, the project somehow got started on the right edge of the mesh instead of at the bottom. So, I saw the whole developing picture from the wrong side. These two effects made the color pockets look like, well, yarn vomit.

Now that I’ve progressed and the image nears completing, it’s looking like a beautiful Minnie Mouse. Patience, Paul, Patience. (PPP.)

Anyway, here’s a hint of what patience will look like.

Nutmeg Glycerin Soap

NUTMEG GLYCERIN SOAP

­
INGREDIENTS
­
1 tablespoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons isopropyl alcohol
isopropyl alcohol or butter to coat molding
2 pounds glycerin soap base
½ teaspoon nutmeg essential oil
isopropyl alcohol to spray away bubbles forming on soap
­
SPECIAL UTENSILS
­
soap molding
spray bottle
soap slicer (optional)
­
Makes 10½ bars, 1″ wide. Takes 3 hours.
­
PREPARATION
­
Add nutmeg and 3 tablespoons alcohol to mixing bowl. Mix with fork until well blended.
­
Spray silicon mold with isopropyl alcohol or rub with butter.
­
Cut glycerin base into 1″ cubes. Add glycerin to large glass measuring cups. Use microwave to melt base in 30 second intervals. Stir after every time. Let sit for 15 minutes or until well blended. (This inhibits nutmeg from settling to the bottom of the soap molding.)  Add nutmeg/isopropyl mix and nutmeg essential oil. Mix with knife until well blended.
­
Pour into soap mold. If desired, lightly spray bubbles with isopropyl alcohol to make them disappear. Let sit for 3 hours. Use soap slicer to cut soap into slices 1″ wide.
­
TIDBITS
­
1) Nutmeg and nitro sound the same.
­
2) But they are not. This recipe, nutmeg glycerin, produces a nice scent. You can safely make nutmeg glycerin. You can ever safely shower with it.
­
3) Nitroglycerin, however, possess explosive tendencies. Making nitroglycerin in your kitchen will likely blow a hole in a wall. On the plus, the nitro blast passed over because you bent down to pick up a dime. You now have easy access from the kitchen to the dining room. And you’re ten cents richer.
­
3) Strange to say, no soap recipe enjoins us not to use nitroglycerin. Let me be the first to do so.
