What's next, baking your own bread from scratch? (I do that. No bread machine. But I do have a good mixer with a dough-hook).

We already have a thread on that, somewhere ...

Really? Under what heading? Bikes and bread, my favourite things. Please can we have a thread on this? And baking soda of course. Roguedog, I'm with you. That post was hilarious.

Thank you Blueberry. I know the book. Going to take a look.

Actually, this is a somewhat timely thread because just the other day while I was washing my hands I was thinking..

"Why or how does using soap make our hands clean?" "Or maybe it's just that we think it makes our hands clean.." which made me kinda chuckle inside.

It dissolves fat and suspends particles long enough for them to get rinsed away by the water, I believe.

Yep., I believe that too.
I have also heard that friction from rubbing is important to hands clean. Sometimes with kids, I think that using soap just gets them to rub their hands a little better and longer.

Hand soap should always smell nice and feel good too!
