“Wood ashes and fat. And the skillset.”

I AM NOT MAKING SOAP, FOR GOODNESS SAKES! There is liquid soap available cheap in almost every store in the US. I have enough to wash the whole country. I AM NOT MAKING SOAP!

See, I remember my mother making soap. I remember her saving animal fat. I remember a huge black iron kettle outside for boiling clothes and/or making soap. I remember a black lady coming to help her do all those chores. I will do everything I can to prepare so I never have to do that. As Patrick Henry said, “Give me bought soap or give me death.”

My wife and I just bought a big supply of dish soap and hand soap. You’re going to use it anyway and it doesn’t get old. Just keep a good supply on the shelf and you’ll never run out and be prepared for the worst.

LOL! it is a little bit of a chore, if you are making a lot. It can also smell somewhat unpleasant.

I have mondays set aside as 'wash day'. ;)
