I just had a thought - maybe you could make the rancid lard into soap, then make that into a liquid to spray on the garden to kill bugs.

Do you ever wonder how in the world somebody would think up how to do something like make soap. Some things you could accidentally figure out but surely not soap. I think it was Val that ask one time who would dream up cooking and eating something something that popped out of a chickens butt. Goin to get my coffee now.

DS was asking me this very question just the other day. My guess was "someone" noticed the chemical change in animal fat when it sat in the ashes of a fire.

Yeah, that probably was me The other day I was thinking about that and wondered how many times they ate the wrong thing before they figured out that only the really hard ones were any good.

Does that make me an amateur anthropologist? They basically sit around and think about what our ancestors did right? ROFL, Call me Not Bones!! (I crack myself up!)

I've read that soap was made accidentally when water was used to wash down the site of sacrifices. The fat from the animals and the ashes mixed with water at the bottom of the hill and the water down stream got clothes cleaner than water upstream of the sacrificial hill.

Since God created everything, and said it's for our use, doesn't it make sense that people would know how to use it?

M, the people were washing their clothes in the stream. The people washing clothes down stream were getting their clothes cleaner than the people upstream from the accidental soap.
