Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 Sue~ Have you run your new recipe through a lye calculator? I didn't take the time to do it before posting this so can't comment on the recipe itself. I did want to tell you that I use vegetable shortening ALOT in my soaps and love it. The first soap I made (approximately 2.5 yrs ago) was made with shortening, coconut and olive and I still have three small pieces of it - it still smells wonderful and has nothing to indicate that it's going bad (BTW, I keep those three little pieces in my linen closet ). I think it is perfectly fine to use the shortening in place of the palm - JMHO!

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2000 Report Share Posted February 3, 2000 <snip> >>Canola 50% coconut oil 25% olive oil 20% castor oil 5% ( will probably add at trace) 15 oz of water ( will also be adding sugar and salt at 1 tsp per lb of oils to the water.) lye 5.7 (approx 3-4% discount) << Sue, I don't know if you realize it, but you've given a mixed recipe. You've got percentages for the oils, not ounces by weight. Yet, you use ounces per weight and volume for the lye and water respectively. That makes it difficult for anyone to follow the recipe unless they extrapolate backwards. >>I have always used palm in my recipes for the hard bar it produces. I have heard that Veg shortening (Crisco) can be used as a sub for palm. Can anyone tell me if adding veg shortening to this recipe will contribute hardness?? If not could anyone suggest a common oil that would? << Canola results in a fairly soft bar. So does vegetable shortening. Adding the 1 tsp of salt per pound of oils will help harden the bar. Standard philosophy says that 25-30% coconut oil per total oils is the maximum, although I've yet to try to prove/disprove this theory. I haven't found any veggie oil that does as well at hardening as palm, palm kernel, or coconut. Again, adding salt or stearic acid will help. >>Could someone look over this recipe and tell me what you think--even if you can't answer the veg shortening question--I'd really appreciate it. << Hope the above helped Nora " As President Nixon says, presidents can do almost anything, and President Nixon has done many things that nobody would have thought of doing.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 I don't already do that shake Andy, but what I do is similar. I reduce the yoghurt and add fruit. Tastes great! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy.... Thanks for the suggestion! I'd just talked to my husband about this and was wondering if you could make " dip " for carrots/celery out of blended cottage cheese and some spices. Right then you posted this so I went out and bought one of those cheap hand blenders! Thanks! Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Yes, blended cottage cheese would be the right consistency for dip and you could add some spices. What a great idea? I will have to experiment. Let me know if you find any spices that are good with cottage cheese. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 check out this recipe. I havent tried it yet, but it sounds very good!!!! Celery & Green Bell Pepper With Sesame Dressing 2 cups bean sprouts 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped cilantro 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1/2 tablespoons mild chili powder 1 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 3 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 large green bell pepper, chopped 1 large Granny green apple 2 tablespoons sesame seeds to garnish Rinse and drain the bean sprouts. Pick them over and remove any that seem a little brown or limp- it is essential that they are fresh and crunchy for this recipe. To make the dressing, combine the cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, sugar and salt thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine the celery, bell pepper, bean sprouts, and apple. To prepare the garnish, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet until they are just turning color. Stir the dressing into the mixed vegetables just before serving. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds. Serves 4 Otavio - Delmar <otavio@...> wrote: could chia be sprouted? tastes well? Re: In the end Does maybe cnnbs sp. (hemp) seeds can be used as substitute for soy without all those side effects? BTW does someone (on some place of the world where it is not forbidden) have sprouted cnnbs for food? opteto better than hemp seeds and not illegal....we have chia. this is not the same kind used for chia pet. this is FOOD grade, not planting grade. it is an ancient survival food used by the aztecs. It also helps regulate blood sugar and has been very beneficial to diabetics. also has a better ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 than flax seed. It is loaded with EFA's. Chia is also considered a complete protein. You can find out much more at menu4life.com . --------------------------------- FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
