Recipe for Lye Soap

Use two quarts of melted grease from bacon drippings or scraps of fat meat. Stir in one cup lye, dissolved in one quart water. This will get hot during the mixing process. Allow it to cool until lukewarm. At once, add one cup ammonia and two tablespoons borax dissolved in four cups water. Stir for five minutes or until too stiff to handle. Put away to harden. It is best to let it set for four weeks. Nearly all soaps are better when they get older. The natural glycerin remains in the mixture. Also, it's cheaper. I have been informed that the folks at Drumlin Estates have started recycling.

The Bee Skep Restaurant, downtown, is now open Friday nights, with an extensive menu, including fish fry.
