Massage bar is slippery, easily-meltable goodness.
Probably didn't need the liquid oil to be added though (the coconut oil has a low enough melting point to work that out on its own).
Now I just need to figure out how to mold them without having to break them to get them out of the mold. (I'm thinking muffin-cup liners, at the moment -- used to have a silicone (or "silicone") muffin-tray, but it smelled of burning plastic when I tried to bake something in it, so I used it for cold-mold stuff, up until I moved (at which point I decided I didn't have much real use for it, and got rid of it).
Hm.
Thinky-think.
In other news: I have re-made the pumkin seed chocolat-candy bark. I used some of the old stuff (chopped into little chunks and mixed in after the fact), so it didn't go to waste. It's chilling in the fridge right now.
The macadamia-nut stuff will have to wait until the pumpkin-seed is hard enough to cut up and store in a box (I've only got enough room in my fridge for one tray at a time). So I'll make, like, chocolate-chip cookies or something (most likely using the remains of the pumpkinseed-chocolate "chips". Possibly with a pumkin-spice base... We shall see. :-)
With that in mind, I pass on the following:
December 17th is the Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
In Ottawa, this will involve a (short) rally at the Human Rights Monument (on Elgin at... Lisgar, I think is) at 5pm. Followed by the March of the Red Umbrellas down Elgin street to the police station, where there will be speakers talking about violence and discrimination against sex workers in Ottawa. (I can just about guarantee you that Chris Bruckert will be speaking here).
After this, there's a reception (which actually starts at 5:30, if you're inclined to skip the march and just head over after the rally) at the Jack Purcel center with an open mic and people sharing stories. There will be hot drinks and (this is the connection with my cooking) free goodies as made by volunteers.
I am one of the volunteer bakers. (Not totally sure what-all I'll be bringing, but since I've got my Solstice shindig happening a few days later, I've got lots of baking to do anyway -- so I'll make ginger snaps and shortbread (and possibly shortbread bells with red sugar on them, because my Goddess of the Sun - who is also my Goddess of money, courage and sex (and, thus, sex-work/ers) - is associated (in my head, anyway) with bells (ankle bells, choral-bells, jingle-bells, all of it).
NOTE: If YOU would like to be a volunteer baker for the DtEVASW Reception, please contact HEATHER at: 613-238-5014 x233.
Anyway. I have some cooking to do.
My Sara is feeling much better today. Thank goodness. Last night was pretty rough for her. But she's feeling a lot better today and is optimistic about how this afternoon and tonight are going to go.
<*is SO relieved*>
Anyway. She's off to an internet cafe to see if she can find a ride-share (I actually just emailed her a short list of them, so that it's easier for her -- I logged on to craigslist just before she found someone who was able to give her dirrections to such a cafe, so I figured I may as well send her my little list, anyway. ;-)
Anywhoo. I gotta go. There's more Wonderful Cooking to be done (and can I just say that pumpkin seed butter is not only tastey, but surprisingly tastey? It's *really* good! :-)
That's it from me for the moment.
