Leaf Lard and Tooth Soap
I just got my leaf lard. It was sitting on the front porch in a styrofoam box, along with the bacon and sausage and bratwurst I ordered. Woo hoo! All pesticide- and antibiotic- and hormone-free.
I also got a book in the mail from Amazon: "Wild Fermentation" by Sandor Ellix Katz. It has recipes for kombucha and sourdough bread and hard cider and ginger beer -- etc.
You can't call me a hippie because, although I do not vaccinate my child and I make kombucha and I happen to brush my teeth with soap, I do order LEAF LARD and SAUSAGE on the internet and have it shipped in STYROFOAM (evil styrofoam) to my house. Hippies don't eat leaf lard and they do not buy things packed in styrofoam! So there!
Oops. I forgot to mention the Tooth Soap.
Tooth Soap is another crazy hippie thing I found online. It's essentially an amber glass jar full of what looks like grated cheese -- only it's grated saponified coconut, palm, and olive oil -- perfumed with a dash of essential oil.
The thing is this -- they say that the glycerin in toothpaste (ALL toothpaste -- even the fancy natural stuff like Tom's) is counterproductive when it comes to helping your teeth remineralize.
Have I mentioned the remineralization of teeth? No? OK I promise to post about that later. Right now I gotta go to bed.
