Now for today's question:

Glycerin was first observed by what Swedish chemist in 1779, who called it "the sweet principle of fat"?

Carl Wilhelm Scheele,
Swedish chemist, accidentally simulated the reaction that occurs in the present-day boiling process of soapmaking, when he boiled olive oil with lead oxide, producing a sweet-tasting substance - He called it �ls�ss (glycerin).

Scheele is the correct answer! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I have a nice set of herbal bath bars in my favorite fragrance, Warm Vanilla Sugar, sitting right here with your name on them.

These are actually a new recipe I tried. They are exfoliating bars. They don't get very lathery but they leave your skin feeling refreshed and invigorated and looking great. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Of course you'll smell good too. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

No need to email me your addy, I've still got it.

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!! Yummy smells for my weekly bath.. oops, that didn't come out right! LOL...
