Ed Brooks:
plan ole Mayo

Puckaway:
I use egg yolks. Seems to work quite well.

Hawkdancer:
Can't resist this >:D.  Save leftover starter, eggs, yolks, add more flour, salt, water to make stiff dough, let raise, mold into loaf pan, bake at 400F 1hr.  Serve warm with honey!  Or ham and mayo! >:D. The devil made me do it!   Will post full recipe on Cooking thread!

nclonghunter:
4 oz bar ivory soap
grate 1/3 into bucket

1/2 gallon hot water- stir soap until dissolved, then pour 50 ml pure olive oil and stir till foamy.

Put your hide in it for buckskin

clewis:
Thanks for all the feedback folks. I lucked out and was given some deer brains and also found a butcher 300miles away willing to save me some brains. I want to try the soap mixture but ive ive read ivory soap leaves a soapy odor even after smoking. Im wondering if a scentless soap would address that?
Thanks much.
