Sorry about your blender.
I've never used a blender recipe. I use a stick mixer. It usually takes 5-8 minutes for trace with it. I've gotten it hot a few times, but so far, so good.
I love milk crates.
For totin', haulin', storin', stackin', whatever.
They even make nifty shelves if you have boards to go between them. Ya know, place 2 crates board length apart, put board on top, place 2 crates on that and so on.
I make labels by wrapping printed bands around the soap. I print on some scrapbooking paper that I have left over (lots).
I always print the ingredients.
I don't trim mine either. I rather like the "rustic" look.
I have those days when I walk through the house and see everything that needs to be done. Do I want to do it? Nooooooo!
Usually it's the days when I don't know where to start. If I do one thing, it will lead to another. Or, I can't finish that one thing without doing 3 other things first.
I...
Thanks. :)
You're right, I did omit it. No, I haven't tried it with the topping. My crumbly toppings never turn out crumbly, just mushy.
It's good enough without the topping. :P :lol:
I keep the bulk of it in a sealed plastic barrel in the garage. I only bring in maybe 1-2 lbs at a time. That is kept in a baggie in another sealed plastic container.
As long as it is sealed properly it should never harden. I would think moisture would cause it to harden.
I've had a few requests for the recipe, so I thought I would post it.
Cranberry Swirl Loaf
3-3 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/3 c. sugar
1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) quick rise yeast

1/3 c. butter, cubed
Filling:
1 c. chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 c. packed...
Wow, FF, you are really lucky the guy didn't make a big deal out of it. He could have gotten Sirius in big trouble, and you, too.
Maybe you should offer him a turkey breast for his Thanksgiving table. :D
Do you have any chemical companies in your area? That's where I found mine. It was about $64 for a 55 lb bag. Overkill, I know, but that's the only way they sold it. Plus, I didn't have to pay the ridiculous shipping prices.
That's a big reason for me, too. Plus, I bore easily. I like to stay busy by making things for others.
Most of my most prized items are things that people took time to make for me.
