Only, I think we're headed for a fail, here. Today's batch is supposed to be Whole Milk Ricotta. I started it at 2...and it's STILL not up to temp (185*), it's STILL not separating into curds, and I'm not sure it's gonna work. :fingers crossed:
Cut the batch of Marrakesh - it's pretty. I LOVE this bar - a 3-color swirl, the scent is wonderful....it's just a pretty, good-smelling bar. I think I need to make another batch, just for us.....
The shaving soap is stuck in the mold. I use a 3" PVC pipe for this (and my shampoo bars), and normally there's no problem un-molding it. The screw-on lid has an air nozzle on it; you hook up the air compressor and USUALLY the bar slides right out. This time? Nothing. :confused: Guess I need to find some sort of follower that fits, so I can manually push it out.
Not much else going on...it's too hot to do much outside (except swim), the goats are all lounging around, and the rest of the animals would prefer to nap instead of move.
Oh - we made 2 more batches of ice cream: Cookies and Cream (with the Oreo choc/vanilla double stuffed. Can you say YUMMY?) and Banana Pudding (tastes EXACTLY like 'nanner pudding. :mmmmmmm: I'm supposed to be on a diet....this isn't helping. Need to hit the pool more often!
