We are experiencing a massive heat wave here on the East Coast. In fact, it is after 10:00 p.m. and it is still 90 degrees! We've got 102 degrees to look forward to tomorrow. Yikes!

It's this amazing mix of both and, for an amateur chemistry junkie like me, making this soap is one of the most fascinating processes to watch.
