I’m so glad you found us. Your blog post reminded me that I should dig out the bar of coffee soap I have squirreled away somewhere, especially since I was elbow deep in dirt yesterday pulling up my summer garden and then elbow deep in cumin cooking last night’s dinner—and that's one smell that does not give up easily. I echo Cornelia: Would you be game to share your soap recipe?
