I made my second batch of soap today. Blaine came home to the smell of Cherry Almond Oatmeal soap cooling. (And a pear pie in the oven, but the Cherry Almond was definitely overpowering it.) He thought he’d come home to Butter Letter. He was disappointed.
What kind of spoiled is he that I’ve made a pie and lye bar soap in one afternoon and the man is disappointed?!
Gonna have to get some almond paste. I love that man.
What on earth is Butter Letter? Some east coast thing? Roxanne
Something like this: http://wyckoff.patch.com/blog_posts/butter-letter-a-dutch-christmas-tradition – totally a page from my very-Dutch husband’s roots. Definitely a keeper, though. (The husband AND the Butter Letter!)
I love Dutch letters! Only had them once in Pella, IA but certainly left an impression. Can you make almond paste from almond flour? -Michelle
