Get the latest Nothing recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/nothing This is probably a bit of an unusual recipe. Then again…maybe not that strange, I have been using shaving soap for about 30 years. The main reason It is better soap then the stuff in a can. We also don't have to mess with all those empty shaving cream cans. Plus it is very inexpensive. If you buy it in the store it will run you a whopping .99 for something like Williams shaving mug soap. Williams has only been around for about 160 years so they must be doing something right. Williams Shaving mug soap will last about 3-4 months. Now you can buy the stuff that Wal-Mart sells for about $3 and lasts about 3 weeks, but it is crap so why bother. Or if you feel adventuresome make your own! The problem is that it takes 6 weeks to cure. However it is a very nice end product and you only have to make it once a year or so. Now most people shave and those that don't you probably wish that they did. Now just think of it you have a nice warm, slippery, soft brush sliding over your skin mmmmm…err… give me a minute here…Ok now where was I? This is a recipe from on line, but is so similar to the one I have used that I don't think it makes much difference, that and I don't have to write it out by hand! If you have never used a shaving soap before then you are in for a treat. You will probably never go back to a can. Or modify your own recipe, just take your basic soap recipe and add about 2 tsp. of Bentonite or other clay for every pound of soap in the batch. I prefer Bentonite clay, though you can use Kaolin, Rhassoul or Fuller's Earth The recipe below makes about 3 lbs. of soap, so I'm using 2 tbs. of clay. Up your percentage of castor oil to about 8%. That's it. Add a fragrance or essential oil appropriate for the person shaving - but be sure that it is one suitable for sensitive skin - remember, you're shaving through this soap. All of this can be found at a good health food store or in the super market. http://www.grouprecipes.com/100407/shaveing-soap.html Good served either warm or cold, as a breakfast or coffee cake. I could eat it anytime!! http://www.grouprecipes.com/57568/not-a-crumb-left-cake.html This sauce compliments the combination of the white/beef like gravy. Normally its either or, but I like both, so it's a twofer. I always slap myself for not making more because its addictive and sad when when you know its the last bite! http://www.grouprecipes.com/50121/favorite-swedish-meatballs.html ... http://www.grouprecipes.com/38467/nothing.html So I got this whole chicken for $2, but nothing to stuff it with! What's a chef to do? Use random things and mash them all together, of course! This is just another example of taking life's lemons and making a tropical margarita. A wise man once said, "Never let your palate know you're poor!" http://www.grouprecipes.com/37312/stuffing-emergency.html No self-respcting englishman would eat this :-) - contains garlic. but i've always loved the combination of lamb with mint.! i still like to serve this with small grean beans, grilled tomatoes, potato wedges or small red whole potatoes, cooked in their jacket, browned in butter in either a roasting dish in the oven or on the stove-top in a heavy skillet with fleur de sel and pepper. http://www.grouprecipes.com/33927/minty-lamb.html This is a recipe a college friend gave me. I love these things! Full of the good ol college days memories. I hope you enjoy! http://www.grouprecipes.com/14932/lemon-poppy-seed-muffin-tops.html Deleted because of criticizism http://www.grouprecipes.com/12634/deleted.html
