Glycerine and it's substitutes; Thank you eHow! 3 CHEERS :D

Here's the link;
http://www.ehow.com/info_7808773_glycerine-substitutes.html

I needed this info.

Glycerin is used in beauty products as a humecant, meaning it attracts moisture when applied to the skin. It also acts as an emulsifier to bind all of the ingredients in the lotion to make a creamy, smooth mixture. Glycerin is naturally created when lye soap is made. Coconut oil and lanolin should be used to replace glycerin in lotions. Use one half part coconut oil and one half part lanolin instead of glycerin to equal the same amount of glycerine that is needed. Coconut oil acts as a humecant to attract moisture and lanolin acts as an emulsifier to create the smooth texture. Together they give a similar effect as glycerin and can still be referred to as natural products.

my poetic try at abstraction; enjoy~~~

Antigone Flare

And again that Antigone, antagonist flare comes flashing by!
It's in the air and I can't say why.
It's on the super highway of the estuary sky.
It's in the aquamarine of the southern fly.

It only lasts an instant if you go through the wise of reasoning.
It lives and breaths among us like a sip of proper Riesling!
So come to the table and take a sip.
Then have your ever lasting just dessert.

©Allisonians (just my poem here, the photo is Antigone's; peace upon you and much enjoyment too!)

Banana This; Recycle Old Peels~ fertilizer or silver polish

There are things you can do with that old peel.

1. Do you have a green thumb? House hold plants and outside gardens require fertilization. A great way to give your plants nutrients is with a banana peel. The banana peel is very rich in potassium and phosphorus, which give that added boost to your plants soil, especially so with roses. Here is how to use a banana peel to fertilizer your soil for your plants. Remove the peel from the banana. Place the banana peel on a cookie sheet to let it air dry. Grab a paper bag or envelope. Crumble the dried banana peel and place it in the bag. Let the banana sit at room temperature for about two days. When your caring for your plant, give it a potassium treat of crumbled banana peel. Mix well in the soil to ensure the roots are fed evenly.
2. Have you been thinking about pulling out that old silver? Well there is no time like the present. Bananas peel can also be used to polish silver. Yes, polish silver. Take the old peels and place them in a blender. You want the peels to become smooth and creamy. Once they have, grab a cloth and small amounts of the creamed banana peel and begin polishing your silver. The shine will be breath taking.

SOURDOUGH STARTER with WILD YEAST

SOURDOUGH STARTER with WILD YEAST
Wild yeasts exist in the air around you and to some extent on the wheat berries. There are wild yeasts on grapes (unsulphured) and apples and other fruits. It is those wild yeasts which are 'captured' to make a sourdough starter. The process takes from 3 to 5 days. I wish I had specific amounts for you, but you could start with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour and mix in enough warm (not hot) water to make a thin paste. DO NOT make it too soupy. That, in fact, is the trick to a good starter, according to the French bread makers, and I think they should know. And after you've fooled around with the flour and water thing, you might wish to branch out into adding those unsulphured grapes, apples, sour milk, etc as a catalyst in order to capture other strains of yeast. Each of these strains has a slightly different taste. In fact if you move to another area, you might end up with a starter that produces an entirely different flavor. For instance, San Francisco sourdough bread is well known and has a distinct taste due to the wild strains in the air there. On day one you mix the flour and water (and add any catalysts to encourage fermentation) and place in a warm spot. After 3 days, the dough should be moist, inflated, and slightly sour. More flour and water is added (mixed in) and left to sit in a warm spot. After 2 days the process is repeated. Then the next day it is done again. Note the order: 3 days, 2 days, 1 day. At this point you should be able to make a loaf of bread using part of the starter and adding back what you took out in the form of more flour and water. Rule of thumb: Use about 10% starter to size of loaf. In the case of a 2 lb loaf this is a bit over 3 oz of starter (3.2 to be exact). For a 1 lb loaf 1.5 oz would be used. A book that describes this process in great detail is The Village Baker by Joe Ortiz, copyright 1993, published by Ten Speed Press, Berkley CA. If it's not still in print, try the used books stores, that's where I got mine. Or try your local library. If they don't have it, they might be able to get it for you. ©2008 by Ernestina Parziale
