April wants the recipe for homemade soap.
This is the one I used. It works great. No suds and it's kind of thin and slimy-ish, but cleans really well and smells fresh.
My friend Leisel makes the soap in 5 gallon batches. She adds a small bottle of liquid Tide to change the scent and texture and so it will make suds. This keeps her husband happy. I say any husband who will do laundry deserves happiness. She also adds a cup of OxiClean for super stain-removal. Totally optional.
Mine was plain and worked great. My husband doesn't do laundry. As a general rule.
Thanks, Leisel, for sharing your soap-making talents of all kinds with us.

Thanks Mother Sargeant! I am going to have to try this out!
I was wondering how you liked it? I forgot to add my Tide to the last demo and put it in with the rest of my laundry soap. When I ran out I just grabbed the first container that I could find and then I remembered it was just plain old homemade soap. I used it just the way it was and loved it! Some of my laundry was pretty dirty so I added 2 cups instead of the 1. So I've spent a whole extra $.03!! Love it!!!!
Just read your comment about the brownies. Brownies are one of the things that I actually use a mix for. These were Duncan Hines, dark Chocolate, and very tasty. They are as good as my old recipe that used melted bakers choc. and much easier to make. I got the boxes on sale at Vons a bit ago for $1.05 per box, such a deal!
We also made the chewy chocolate, but they broke apart a bit more, and I though weren't as chocolaty. According to Ina Garten, if you add a bit of instant coffee (you could use decaf) it enhances the choc taste w/o giving it a coffee taste. She puts a bit of coffee in all her choc. recipes.
