A new spin on homemade vanilla ice cream
Do you have one of those fancy Cuisinart ice cream makers? I do! That was an awesome investment! If you’ve ever spent time looking at the label on your favorite store bought ice cream, you know there are surprising ingredients lurking in the mix. In an age when the effects of high fructose corn syrup are emmerging, it’s time to take the reins on what goes on top of the sugar cone at your house. An ice cream maker that doesn’t require salt, is just what the Dr. ordered! (teehee) Here’s the Green Tea Ice Cream Recipe that I teased my twitter and facebook followers with yesterday. Last night,…

What to do with Cucumbers from Rock Star Farms…
Hey there! While I’ve been active on twitter, it’s been a while since I’ve sat down for a blog post. If you are interested in what’s been going on, take a gander at the Dr. Flower twitter stream here or if you are a visual person, twitpic and Flickr work pretty well too! We spent July 4th up at Rock Star Farms this year. It was their 1st Annual July 4th Celebration. Rock Star Farms is a relatively new farm promoting organic gardening, homegrown organic food, biodynamic planting, compost, green water, water conservation, and green solar energy. It’s a Dr. Flower kind of farm! I’m sure the write ups on this special farm will be many…

Hey there! I wanted to highlight that our two newest all natural handmade soaps are now available at http://dr-flower.com!

Mud Daubers, friend or foe?
Why all the sudden interest in mud daubers? You know how you hear talk about a certain subject and that subject comes up again? It was that way with mud daubers for me. Since I was at the Alabama Soap Meeting on Friday and Saturday, I got another facial from Tammy Doering of Dead Sea Bulk Materials. My new friend Aimee Morhan of Magnolia Soaps that I met at the conference was suggesting that mud daubers would be a cute name for young girls that use facial mud. Being the earthy chick, it sounded like a neat idea to me! Tammy was not so sure about it. That got me to…

What's been going on at ASM (Alabama Soap Meeting)
Hey there! A bunch and I mean a bigger bunch than last year of soap making friends are gathered in a little town outside Montgomery called Prattville. (You can find out more here.) We are all sharing ideas, tips and tricks within our soap making industry. It’s been a blast with many new friends being made as well as spending time with old ones. Friendships that continued on twitter and facebook from past meetings are only strengthened with face to face interaction. As you can imagine, the wheels are turning and notes are being taken! Here’s a few photos for your enjoyment…Good night! Theda Gatlin’s Demo on Shower Gel Darlene…

Do what you say you are going to do…
Business Rule #1 – Scratch that! Life Rule #2 – Do what you say you are going to do! Sometimes we forget to do this. Especially if the “thing” we say we are going to do is not written down. My example in this post was written down earlier this year. The 2nd Day of this year to be precise! I had a blog post here on Dr. Flower about Martini glasses. Several folks dropped in to comment their thoughts. (psstt…I LOVE it when you guys do that!) Anne-Marie dropped in to say I’d won the random comment contest! yippe I said… and a martini glass for you on your…
