Too many people spend money they
haven't earned,
to buy things they don't want,
to impress people they don't like.

I’ve made many things in crockpots including a wonderful
spice cake, apple butter, pasta sauce and more, but this is new to me. I’ve never made soap at home but thought
others might enjoy learning how…
Basic
Recipe
To start a good batch of crock pot soap, you don’t need to do anything special. That’s right, you can use any recipe for cold process soap. Crock pot soap is sometimes called hot process, different from cold process in that it is heated and cooked for a while. If you want to use my basic recipe, there are no adjustments that need to be made. Start with the same ingredients. In case you missed it, here it is:
- ¾ cup cool water – use distilled
or filtered water (find the best water
purification systems here)
- ¼ cup lye – also called 100%
sodium hydroxide (find it here or at local hardware stores)
- ⅔ cup olive oil (find a good value on olive oil here)
- ⅔ cup coconut oil (buy it in bulk for soap making
here)
- ⅔ cup other liquid oil such as
grapeseed, almond, sunflower, or safflower oil (find them here)

I love mashed potatoes, but I hate taking the time to
make them. But, I hate the taste of instant even more. So, now I make large
batches of mashed potatoes and freeze them in freezer bags. I flatten the bags
before putting them into the freezer.
When I want mashed potatoes, I break off as much as I need for the meal and pop them in the microwave! I have mashed potatoes that taste freshly made, and they take less time than even the instant potatoes. >>CC

I had coffee stains and scratches on my cream-colored
counter. I tried cleaning it with some bleach cleaner and straight bleach, but
the stains just weren't coming up.
My big box of baking soda was sitting on the counter, so I decided to give it a try. With about a teaspoon of baking soda on my wet dishrag, all the stains and scratches disappeared.

Hydroponics Can Provide You With A Secret Survival Garden
With gardening season rapidly approaching, we’re soon going to hear a lot about the importance of soil and how much of a difference the quality of soil can make in a plant’s growth. And it’s true; soil is important. But it’s not crucial for a plant’s growth like water is.
During the 1900s, scientists learned that the important mineral nutrients that are absorbed by plants come from water. Soil does act like a mineral nutrient reservoir in nature, but it is not required for plant growth. If we bring those essential mineral nutrients into a plant’s water supply through an artificial method, soil is not really needed for the plant’s growth at all! That’s what hydroponic gardening is all about.
