When I dissolve lye with frozen milk, I used bit too much milk so when all the lye are dissolved there still a big chunk milk cube…

I went to computer room to check email to wait for the milk cube to be dissolve complete, but…I spend too much time in front of computer…
I was bothering by co worker and cannot sleep at that night so I get up around 4am that day, when I check email, I decide to tell everything to my boss and want him to do something about it, so…I spend 2 hours to type the email….@@

after click the "send" button, I back to kitchen.
O - MY - GOD ! ! !
The lye solution is no longer a liquid but…mash potato!!!
oh! no!
I…I….I still use it to making soap - what to see what will happen
well, I think it still able to work but the problem is, I did not completed smashed "mesh potato" - I found out inside of soap still shows tiny small piece of "mesh potato" @@ WHOOPS!

Ha ha ha! I finally have chance to make Cuban Oregano (???) soap! (I'm really confused what is this plant, I expect it is 左手香 but from Google image looks not the same...)

Anyway, this takes me a lot of time to do it...
Ground them from the fresh with out any water
Drain them so I can use only the juice
Freeze them so I can have ice cube to use to dissolve the lye...

One more things that make me very excite is
My clear silicon loft molds finally arrive! Ya!
I finally have a straight up & down silicon soap mold!



南和月的透明矽膠模到手啦!
哇哈哈哈哈!


這植物看來很像大家說的左手香
可是google image 上看來一點也不像…
倒很像是剛好看來的Cuban Oregano??
管它的 當左手香吧 ~

今日請病假在家
早上送完孩子上學後
去給人家摘"左手香"(不知道誰種在那的)
沒有加水 打原汁
用跟團買的紗袋過濾後入冰櫃去凍起來
渣我就把它撥散 放窗邊吹乾(好香)
晚上作皂的時候
我就把乾的渣再打一遍
加在牛奶巧克力那一鍋裡
反正都是黑呼呼的
看不見 ^^

205g Water
155g Half & Half

I just want to make this.
For a long….time.
This morning I really cannot hold it anymore,
I finally did it, and get ride off from my list.

(This is very strange thing I never done before)
Making soap in the early morning before drop off kids to school before go to work?
I'm crazy!
Rush, rush.
Time is almost up…
so I use stick blender to shorten the trace time.
Water is bit too much.
This soap must shrink like crazy. Too.


第一次在要送小孩上課自己要去上班前打肥皂
我真是瘋了
急急的打皂
可它偏不秒殺
只好讓百靈來發威
可百靈好像抱怨我把它晾太久
(期實是我太急了啦)
有(東西)(皂液??) 從百靈(鍋裡) 飛濺進我眼裡
我當下心裡大叫
完了完了眼睛要瞎了…
趕緊沖水
可又想不對 應該要先擦乾淨…
阿又想 要怎樣"擦乾淨"阿
趕忙又繼續沖水…
還好沒事
只不知到底濺進眼裡的是啥



壓克力!!! 痛恨壓克力模的保溫能力!
這700克的皂就只有麋鹿可以見人...
其他的給我出水 + 坑洞 @#$%&^!

Silk Loofah Hazelnut/"絲"瓜臻果洗面皂

400g Batch

Oils:
18%, 72g Palm Kernel Oil
82%, 328g Hazelnut (mint, lavender infused)

55g NaOH
130g Loofah Juice
2 Silk cocoon
??g Water

Super Fat:
5g Golden Jojoba Oil

I finally did this!
This is specially for friends & family who loves bubble~
This time I did not add aloe concentrate because that make the color ugly @@
Also no Job's tear, no mung bean (because I want to add a piece dry loofah into the soap - already a scrap soap ^_^)
I was think the oatmeal, may be next time~
Did not add Essential Oil
Even I was thinking adding peppermint Oil like I used to add to my Hazelnut face kiss, but same time I want to keep the natural herbal scent from the infused oil (the smell is really good when I blending while watching TV)
(I hand blend over 1 hrs - you know the 8pm TV show is so interesting!)
Supper fat - this is my first super fating soap, because I use right amount lye to "melt" the silk cocoon but I want to keep the soap PH at 7.
Hope you like it, enjoy!



終於做了它! 呼! 想了好久了!
這次很大方
400克的油量就撿了兩ㄎ挺大的蠶繭
剪的碎碎的
可是融鹼的絲瓜汁是冰塊
所以鹼液不是熱燙的...
攪來攪去 攪出一團絲團
只好把絲團撈出來 再單獨的加了一咪咪鹼去"融"
所以這次的肥皂我在皂液略有些厚種時加金黃荷荷葩超脂
全程手攪
一邊看好看的八點檔
(人家在追犀利人妻可我愛看痞子英雄 反正犀利人妻別台還會播
痞子英雄是第一次在八點檔出現...以前是在周末深夜播 但是我是睡豬)

沒加綠豆粉沒加薏仁粉 我一般一定加在洗臉皂裡的
但是這次要放塊絲瓜在中間
夠磨皮了
本也想放胡椒薄荷精油
可浸泡油的味道真的太好
不捨得讓精油把它給蓋住了...
用了很多的薄荷葉薰衣草魚腥草去泡的
泡了半年囉
一向愛放的蘆薈濃縮粉也沒放 怕顏色難看...

親愛的朋友 希望妳喜歡!

皂液原來是墨綠色的
攪攪攪攪就慢慢淡去
入模時成了芒果色
36小時後有點淡淡的綠

7/13
水...多放了
還好軟!
把小圓皂(鍋邊剩餘一咪咪的)放入冰櫃半小時後脫模

7/14
昨晚把肥皂拿出箱子外
肥皂上布滿了水珠
擦掉它的同時也在想
該不會就給我變白霜吧
呵! 今早看果然!
肥皂很軟很軟阿
想說要冰凍後才能脫模的
可是很讓我訝異這盒子之好脫模!
我撥撥每塊皂的邊邊 竟然就可以分離了!
真開心!
(因為發現冰凍過後再退冰的肥皂顏色就是牛奶糖色)
這肥皂超會變色的
從墨綠色的油
到入模時的芒果色
到入模8小時後的布丁色
到入模24小時後的牛奶糖色
入模58小時後脫模時的淡綠色!
