Interesting take on national debt

Debt seems to have taken a front and center role in politics (again). While reading this very interesting article on gold, I came upon this little gem of a factoid:

Honey Oatmeal Soap

This weekend we made honey-oatmeal-goatsmilk soap, in a wooden mold.


This is the soap mold.

These are the bars of soap after they are cut up.



Now we have a lot of oatmeal soap... any volunteers to try it out and give feedback?
(We made a 4 pound batch...)


Ingredients: lard, coconut oil, olive oil, goat milk, oats, honey, beeswax, lye

New Paltz, NY is where it's at!
