Okay.
Perhaps the long wait is over and the rest of our (late) mail will start arriving in short order. Here's hoping.
That said: My essential oils have arrived.
They came wrapped in layers and layers of unbleached tissue paper (or so I'm guess), wound around with elastic bands that had strands of someone's hair attached to it (presumably the hair belongs to "B", who packed everything up -- according to my receipt, which came with a hastily scrawled peace sign at the bottom of it).
I have:
12ml each:
Cinnamon bark (Burmanii, CO2-extracted)
Wild Rosemary
Ylang Ylang (Complete)
5ml of Thyme
AND
30ml of Sweet Orange (which came with its own eye-dropper)
I am very pleased and am now considering making myself a perfume a la BPAL - ideally in a sweet-almond-oil carrier, but possibly done as a solid using cocoa butter as the main carrier with a little bit of coconut oil added into the mix.
I would be mixing myrrh, ylang ylang, cloves, cinnamon, and maybe vanilla. (Part of me is seriously tempted to call such a perfume "Feelin' Lucky", but maybe not. ;-)
I would want to put it in a tin like this one - as it's aluminum and, as such is recyclable and won't (I don't think) be leaching random chemicals into my perfume. At least that's my thought.
Failing that, though, there's also this option which, while plastic, is at least still opaque and, incidentally, a lot clearer on the details of what "one item" actually means.
Anyway.
That's a project for Later (whenever I'm int he mood to muck about in the kitchen - probably February, but possibly sooner than that).
I have got us a rainbow trout for dinner tonight. Will serve it with rice (possibly wild rice) and sautee of fennel, apple, and red onion. At least that's The Plan. We may have wine with dinner as well, but we'll see. :-)
For now, I've got to look up my grandfather's address so I can get his parcel in the mail (finally - it's only two weeks late...).
Up, up, and awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! :-D
TTFN,
Amazon. :-)
