Goat’s milk Soap Just like CHEESE !!
Goat’s Milk Soap is a Good Gift for all ages and skin . I can say that many people with skin issues tend to like to use our goat’s milk soaps because of what they offer the skin. Between vitamin A and lactic acid, goat’s milk is the way to go.=D .

I may  be obsessed with  cheese (are you, too?), so the fact that we live near  from Whole Foods Market, North Raleigh  the most diversity  cheese shop  from France to Swiss , is fabulous and a little dangerous. I love the Parmegiano Regiano , The Triangle’s newest Whole Foods Market, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, provides one of the best bets when it comes to cheese buying in Raleigh.    (and give samples!).
Cheese plate for 2:
Softer cheeses work best with a butter knife. Harder cheeses, like Parmesan, are good with a triangle-shaped knife.

I Choose a fun variety of cheeses: different textures, countries, and all three milk types (goat, sheep, cow) ,: Salami from Italy and pate from France.

My favorite recipe

Thanksgiving Recipe from Biltmore Estate:
George Vanderbilt’s Favorite Turkey and Cornbread Dressing

Ingredients:
  • 20–25 pound turkey
  • Cornbread, prepared
  • 6 buttermilk biscuits, prepared
  • 1 dozen eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup ground sage
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Method
  • Rinse turkey and rub with salt inside and out.
  • Using a large boiler or cooker, place turkey in enough water to almost cover it (one gallon or more).
  • Heat to boiling point and cook on medium for about 2 1/2 hours or until breast is tender; use a ladle to baste broth over the breast meat to keep it moist.
  • For cornbread dressing: Bake a large pan of cornbread using your favorite cornbread recipe.
  • Bake about six buttermilk biscuits using your favorite recipe, or purchase frozen biscuits and bake.
  • Peel eggs and chop or grate them into large mixing bowl. Add onions, celery, sage, salt and pepper. Crumble cornbread and biscuits into bowl.
  • When turkey is done, pour turkey broth over the cornbread dressing until the desired consistency is reached. Mix well, using plenty of broth so that dressing will be moist and soft when done.
  • Place turkey in center of large baking pan. Spoon dressing into and around turkey. Bake in 425ºF oven for about 45 minutes. If turkey browns too soon, cover with aluminum foil.
  • Serves eight to ten
The creator of this recipe, Ellen Davis, came to Biltimore House from the community of Avery Creek in the spring of 1899 to work as a cook for the Vanderbilt. She fell in love with Thomas H. Johnson, a groomsman in the Stables, and they were married the following spring. This recipe was a favorite of George and Edith Vanderbilt’s, and it became a tradition for Ellen Johnson to prepare it for them each year.

What is Melt & Pour and Cold Process soap?
The difference between cold process, hot process, and melt and pour.

Cold Process Curing Natural Soap

Oldest method that humans have used to make soap
Cold Process soap is the natural reaction that occurs when oils, butters, or hard fats are mixed with a caustic solution. Very much like the old  pioneer artisan soaps like ours  Natural handcrafted soaps , these soap techniques have become highly refined into an art form as the ability to fine tune the saponification process has developed.
The handmade Cold Process soap bars are creamier and luxurious because the soapmaker takes the time to research the ingredients, to test until the perfect bar is created it. It gives the soap maker the freedom to make  bars of soap that can reach specific skin problems like super dry skin or oily skin.

Friday , November 1 , 2013 – Cold Process Soap
Melt and Pour
Is the easiest method. Basically, people just buy a soap making kit that will contain a pre-made chunk of soap. They then melt the soap, add various extras, and pour the mixture into molds. People who use this method are not technically making soap; they are improving plain, already existing, but rather bland soap. Although this might sound pretty boring, it is actually rather fun for people who get creative.

Melt and Pour soap the easiest method
Traditionalists might prefer the hot process, which is the oldest method that humans have used to make soap like the Ancient Olive Soap from Aleppo, Syria . And people who want to pamper themselves with extra conditioning soap might like the cold process from Natural Handcrafted Soap Company from The Brazil Rainforests my Hometown :D .

A Natural Artisan Handmade Soap Bar can be practical  addition to any good skin care regimen. But many people have been using the same type of soap for years without ever thinking about why.
Scientifically, we know that the skin is constantly changing which is why something as simple as changing your soap can make a big difference in results from a skin-care routine. In fact, there is a good natural handcrafted bar for every skin type. To make the process a little less overwhelming, I have put together a few favorites, depending on the skin type.
Sensitive Skin: People with sensitive skin have trouble with irritation from many products. Often, the irritation arises from fragrance or harsh detergents in the commercial soap. A favorite recommendation from dermatologists everywhere is Natural  Soap for Sensitive Skin. Like  Milk  and Olive Oil Soaps .  It is unscented and has mild cleansing ingredients that gently clean the skin without excessive irritation. It’s always a good idea to follow
