As the bronco bucks and the clown dives into the barrel

So we switch projects back and forth...

Shes busy trying my recipes and fixing em for the kids.. which seems to be working out all around.. the food is good, not pricey and enough out of the ordinary its exciting.... but not in the Anderew Zimmer lets eat the monkey schlong kind of different..

Lets just do real food... not a plateful of BDSM animal wang freak show....

Bread, Pizza, Sourdough, Bruschetta, Spicy Yogurt/Tadziki, Hummis and stick food.... Civiche, Labani, and now Mozzarella to enhance pizza thats already way over the top.

Shes seen how much my favo stuff costs..its uber expensive to buy, but cheap it is to make... like my beloved olive, anchovy, garlic stuff..... that doesn't include recipes I snag from all over cyber space to show her how varied recipes for the same foods are...

And how its ok to tweak hell out of things......

That being said...... I'm on soap detail till she catches up...food recipes I exude like a honey bee exudes honey...

But soap.....ahhhh a challenge..  glycerine or coconut oil based what physical propertys do I want, what scents... which oils and clays... since it is for shaving soap... I have some distinct ideas about foam density.... how long it lasts and how much slip factor can I get for a straight razor... do we need aloe, almond oil, lavender, myrrh (which I actually like) lemon..... classic manly stuff that doesnt smell like a dead hooker in a vat of chemicals...

Olive oil soap is good..but the lather is lacking....

Anyway the division of labor has put that in my lap.... or on my throat rather.. since I use a razor..I need to be the judge....

Shes taking a class to learn how to do razor shaves.....so I need to see she has a custom and very exclusive shave soap...plus a sexy razor or two..

I've been shaving with straight glycerine...then I added some to my regular shave soap.. and it was pretty sexy...I found out how to cure drag with bentonite....so I have some things to find out..

Its science baby.... not metrosexual stuff, seriously I take better care of a saddle than I do my face...(let the metaphore go.. I mean it literally) .... most guys do...

So Im on it...
