I got a similar recipe from my cousin for laundry soap: 1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, 1 bar Fels Naptha soap. Blend.

I am so sick of washing and re-washing them to get the smell out. I really don't like my front loader!Radkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734818137514373892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151235641702592022.post-17012248932716657012012-07-14T21:01:56.661-07:002012-07-14T21:01:56.661-07:00I remember your cherry tree too.

Usually they get dumped, but with a surge of the 'pioneer spirit' which is abundant here now i decided to "waste not, want not" the pits. I broke the dried pits, put them in a little coffee grinder, grated a bar of ivory soap and made a super 'scrub' for hands and feet. Very pleased with the results!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151235641702592022.post-68081570711066265422012-07-14T09:12:46.224-07:002012-07-14T09:12:46.224-07:00I remember, as a kid, climbing our cherry tree and...I remember, as a kid, climbing our cherry tree and snacking and snacking and snacking...

They had a tradition that if someone found a pit, they "got to" do the dishes!<br />My domestic triumph for today is that it's now almost 2 in the morning and I've just made several freezer meals, browned and frozen ground turkey, made a dessert and cleaned up the kitchen. Now I'm off to bed!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.com
