I want to make my own cleaners for the bathrooms and such and I thought I saw that some had ammonia in some of the recipes. I have used bleach in my showers before so will it be safe to start using a cleaner with ammonia in it on my showers.<BR/><BR/>I found you by way of Tipnut.com but I noticed that there is no longer a way to get from there to your site. I was wondering if something happened. That is how I found you and it has been very helpful in my journey to live a simple life and so I don't want others to miss out on all of the great information I have been able to drink in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-4403714407125630212008-06-19T03:02:00.000+10:002008-06-19T03:02:00.000+10:00looks like a very yummy soup.looks like a very yummy soup.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505042214124811641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-27322206009574142242008-06-19T01:32:00.000+10:002008-06-19T01:32:00.000+10:00Oh my gosh!

I am in California and don't want to make soup on most days, but we're in the northern part so I still have some nice cool days that a soup would be fantastic for dinner. <BR/>Have you tried freezing it? I am wondering if I could make up a big batch and freeze it for dinners at othertimes.
