Adventures in Soap Making

In my final semester of accounting, we had to do this humongous big project.  The project was for my evil and dreaded cost accounting class.  Seriously it is hell.  We had to "start" a business, manufacture and sell a product.  It is kinda the capstone of our education, I guess. So kinda important.  We are in the middle of it.  Which brings me to this post.  My group decided to make handmade soap.  Yep, hand made bar soap.  It was pretty cool.  I'd do it again, except that whole lye thing, kinda scares me.  So our company is call Eu-Reek-A Bar Soap, and there are 4 employees.  I am the vice president of marketing, I get to try and be creative.  It is kinda fun.  So, yeah back to the soap. I'm not gonna go through the whole process, I did make a nice flow chart that none of you want to see, so I'll get on with this post.

Collections: Gravy Boats

So this is the post everyone has been waiting for... Right?  Oh course it is.  Well ok, probably not but only because you didn't know that I am a collector of gravy boats.  Gravy boats, you ask, why gravy boats?  Well, for starters I am a lover of gravy, all kinds, except ham and corned beef.  That and I just like them.  Oh and someday I plan on having a gravy party, ya know to celebrate gravy.  I feel like you're judging me for this.  Nevertheless, on to the boats.
