Crock Pot Cheese Dip

This cheese dip recipe is always a favorite at family functions and potlucks, and is so easy to make. It comes from, of all places, the owner's manual of my Kitchen Selectives slow cooker (though I have modified it slightly).

Vinegar neutralizes lye." Soapers, have you heard this? Do you practice the habit of keeping vinegar nearby when you make your soaps? So did I, until recently, when I read an interesting post on a soap forum, and then decided to research the claim myself.

My Experience Using Homemade Baby Formula: It Is Possible!

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my twins, I really did. And I thought I could. While I was pregnant, I read books and articles all emphasizing the fact that the more milk you express, the more milk you will make, so there is no reason a mom shouldn't be able to feed twins or even triplets exclusively on breast milk. For whatever reason, however, my boobies didn't quite understand this theory. My babies were feeding constantly, but never seemed to get full. And worse, they were barely gaining any weight.
