Ha-ha, and here I skipped out early and missed getting Soap Nuts. They look like bunny droppings. Great to meet you, looking forward to following you trying to tweet and your blog!

BlogHer was interesting, wasn’t it? Lots of energy. It was fun chatting with you at lunch. The Haika lunch I think? It all starts to blur together.

Hey, I didn’t get testicle soap! Love your business card by the way. It’s great.

I am starting to think I am the only person that left San Francisco without nuts.

I am feeling slightly paranoid about this.

Sadly, I’d probably have scrubbed those roots off and baked those ‘taters. Folks will package most anything these days, huh?
Oh, very impressive collection of oils. Put the mental picture of Chevy Chase in Caddyshack. That would be about how adept my hubs would be with the oils.

Hilarious. I could probably get my husband interested in doing a load of laundry with the promise of “soap nuts.”

The problem is that the soap nuts likely aren’t doing much of anything. FWIW, you can actually do laundry with no detergent at all and odds are whatever you are washing will come out looking and smelling cleaner. Water-soluble dirt particles will always come out in the wash without detergent; it is the oil-soluble messes (chocolate, gravy) that need the fatty-like compounds in most soaps in order to get clean. It may be that the plant components left in the soap nuts contain some such compounds, or maybe some natural surfactants. But if you want assured clean, stick with detergent.

I didn’t get any of those soap nuts. I’m stuck washing my clothes with regular ol’ non-testicular detergent.

I was thrilled to meet you too.

I’m thinking that nuts might make my boys want to do laundry.

I just stumbled on your blog and I want to tell you I love it! I am a middle school English teacher and it is refreshing to see a parent so involved in their child(ren)’s reading!

P.S. My student’s love, love, love DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. Jeff Kinney’s newest installment is a diary for kids to fill in themselves. It’s great and will encourage a lot of writing.
