Cooked, stew w/venison, spaghetti w/light tomato sauce.
SIL & BIL stopped by...visited.
Made a batch of laundry detergent since I was running out...did more laundry.
How do you make your laundry detergent? Do you have a recipe?
1 big bar pink Zote, grate with reg hand cheese grater (it's soft and grates easily)
2 cups borax
2 cups washing soda
1 cup baking soda (I have hard water)
Purex crystals (optional)
I grate the Zote and mix it together with the borax, washing soda, and baking soda in a big bowl and pulse it in the food processor a few batches at a time, until it turns to powder...(you can also unwrap the Zote and let it set a few days so that it will harden up and then grate it very fine, skipping the food processor, but it takes more effort and time...and I tend to grate my fingers more often that way)...Kid and SO like things "with the fresh smell"...so I will add approx. 1/2 of a 28 oz container of the Purex crystals in the only fragrance I can tolerate to the mix at the end after I run it through the food processor and stir them in.
It gives a very light scent that hasn't triggered my asthma so far...but that's really optional as is the baking soda.
You can use Fels or Ivory soap also, I've used both before, but like the Zote best.
