<strong>Cucumber Yogurt Sauce Tzatziki by Deborah Dolen</strong><br />
<br />
16 ounces plain yogurt (I use lowfat)<br />
<br />
<br />
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and minced (I do not peel all of mine to have some pretty green coloration)<br />
<br />
2 garlic cloves, minced<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon olive oil<br />
<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
<br />
2 teaspoons vinegar<br />
<br />
6 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped [Optional becaue few people have this handy]<br />
<br />
Process all of the above in a food processor and chill to serve later with any Greek style dish. I bump mine so it leaves chunks of green cucumber in there which adds to the texture and color.

<strong>Best Gyro Meat Recipe by Bestselling Author Deborah Dolen</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Gyros are great and even better with fresh sun ripened mushy tomatoes and sweet Vidalia onions as well as sliced cucumbers or lettuce. The cucumber yogurt dressing (known as Tzatziki sauce) [recipe link below] and grilled pita bread make it all happen. Many people get stuck on where to get Gyro Meat? Well, if you can find it - you can safely assume it is over priced. 33% ground lamb and the rest lean ground beef with garlic and other spices mixed in - and you have home made Gyro meat! You can mix this up, roll it flat and freeze it to almost frozen if you want to cut strips. Few recipes I have seen mention lemon and if you have ever had a gyro served to you - you can see them often spritz the gyro loaf on the rotisserie with lemon. That breaks up the fat a little and definitely compliments the flavor. This is an excerpt of my bestselling Beef Jerky recipe book. The eBook also has a recipe for making jerky Greek style in a dehydrator which is not a ground type recipe as this one is. </div>
<br />
The simple Cucumber Yogurt Sauce Recipe is here:<br />
<a href="http://deborahdolen.blogspot.com/2012/09/cucumber-yogurt-sauce-tzatziki-by.html">http://deborahdolen.blogspot.com/2012/09/cucumber-yogurt-sauce-tzatziki-by.html</a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make this you can also use a jerky gun if you happen to have one. A jerky gun looks like a cake decorating tool. You can quadriple this recipe and baste it on a rotisserie or just make it jerky style in a dehydrator. Mine gets made with the oven method. I make extra and freeze it for future entertaining. </div>
<br />
Makes 1 to 2 pounds depending on cooking method <br />
<br />
<br />
2 pounds lean ground meat<br />
<br />
1 pound lean ground lamb<br />
<br />
Combine the meat and knead these spices into it:<br />
<br />
4 tablespoons Lemon Juice [This goes on at the end to baste]<br />
<br />
1-2 tablespoons garlic powder<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon thyme powder<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon paprika<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon onion powder<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon salt<br />
<br />
1/2 tablespoon oregano powder<br />
<br />
1/2 tablespoon marjoram<br />
<br />
1/2 tablespoon cumin powder<br />
<br />
1/2 tablespoon black pepper<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mix all desired ingredients and press through a jerky making utensil such as “Jerky Works." The Jerky should be dried at 155 degrees and may take anywhere from 8-15 hours to dry. Absorb any excess fat on paper towels. This recipe does not store for long periods of time as non-ground beef recipes that can last for several months. If you do not have a jerky gun, you can also use the freeze and cut method used in the "Hamburger Jerky" recipe in this book.</div>
<br />
Baste your Gyro meat with the lemon in the last hour of dehydration.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is wonderful served with toasted pita and fresh sliced sweet onions, tomatoes, lettuce and Tzatziki sauce also known as Cucumber - Yogurt sauce. The simple recipe is in this book.<br />
<br />
Oven method at 140 degrees could be 12 hours, but I am not really out to dry it so much, so 4 hours is fine for me.<br />

<strong>Safety Issues of Essential Oils</strong> </div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
The best course of action is always prevention. Meaning, do not allow essential oils in the hands of inexperienced people. Keep your essential oils out of reach of minors. Some smell so good, there have been reports of minors determining it smelled good enough to drink. Orange essential oil would be a good example. <br />

Transference is not hard. For example, you could get a micro amount of Cinnamon on your hands and not realize it until you rub your eye. If you live to talk about it, chances are you will never forget that experience.<br />

The first thing you should about essential oils is which ones are toxic. Most students learn this last, such as myself--and they need to know it first. You may be surprised what is considered toxic. The web is overflowing with 'recipes' and 'formulas' that are fairly ignorant to what is toxic and why. Pennyroyal and Wintergreen are all too often seen in web recipes. They should not appear in any with great words of caution and dilution. This does not mean the author of any 'recipe' knows what they are doing. In fact, just the opposite. Some essential oils can overwhelm the kidneys and liver and shut them down. <b>Aromatherapy Basics </b>by <b><i>Deborah Dolen</i></b> at <b><a href="http://apothecaryuniversity.com/aromatherapy-chapter-v-EO-Toxicity-by-deborah-dolen.html" target="_blank">Apothecary University</a>. </b><br />

Adulteration and dilution of essential oils to increase profit, like anything in today’s society, brokers are looking for a way to save a buck and stretch a penny. The area of essential oils is no different, and in fact, not regulated. All you can do is buy from a reputable 'house' who is published and would risk their reputation if they were ever caught cutting the product. When a company has a large customer base, you know those customers are educated and would just 'know' if standards began falling. I do buy from such a company who services the big name Perfume Flavor houses. Flavor cannot be adulterated with low end chemicals or it would be obvious very fast. It took me several years to secure that supplier, because few people want to reveal their source. I also secured a few more back-up suppliers in 2007 so I am not dependent on the great price fluctuations of my first supplier. Even if a vendor did not lower standards, often they have no clue if the broker they bought from did dilute. The country of origin is typically the first consideration. </div>

Like a fine wine, some oils get better with age! These include clove, rose, patchouli, sandalwood, spikenard, myrrh and vetivert improve as they age, but others, notably the citrus oils, oxidize and can become irritating and toxic with age. </div>

<div align="justify">
Standards and definitions regarding essential oils are defined best by NAHA. NAHA, pretty much the governing organization in Aromatherapy and defines an essential oil as the following: </div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
"The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in their Vocabulary of Natural Materials (ISO/D1S9235.2) defines an essential oil as follows: "An essential oil is a product made by distillation with either water or steam or by mechanical processing of citrus rinds or by dry distillation of natural materials. Following the distillation, the essential oil is physically separated from the water phase." </div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
When making my own macerations, I will usually order in a professional grade essential oil from that same herb and compliment my blend with a little of the real stuff. Lavender would be a great example. Many lavender festivals grow their own, but often order out any lavender notes they cannot achieve or just for more supplies than they can grow.</div>

Once you learn the beauty of essential oils, you will learn about more affordable 'by products' of the manufacturing process. Run off water is known as a 'Hydrosol'. Examples are Rose Water, Lavender Water, Neroli and my personal favorites Roman Chamomile and Witch Hazel hydrosols. Hydrosols tend to run 10% the price of the actual oil, and a great way to experience an oil--such as Neroli and Chamomile, that are ordinarily cost prohibitive. I use hydrosols in componding skin toners, in some perfume formulas, in lotion and witch hazel for medicinal preparations.</div>

AROMATHERAPY - Chapter X Top Twelve Essential Oils Everyone lists their “top ten” differently--perhaps depending on what sells the most (could be what is most affordable), what they learned first, or simply what they can access easiest in their location. I can’t help it, these are twelve I depend on. I am delineating my 'Top Twelve’ based on what we will use the most in my daily life. Ones that do double and triple duty. You can bet Lavender, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus are on every list. Later we will get into exotic and interesting essential oils. This is just a list of my favorite primary essential oils, the ones I would want in my family medical bag, and their top contributions and attributes. Dosage and application will be in the next chapter. </div>

Essentials in the Kitchen - Cooking with Essential Oils Most of our use in cooking with essential oils, such as Rose and/or Lavender Jelly, will simply be stirring them into salts, sugar, fats (such as butter, ice cream) and jellies. I feel this is the prudent way to become familiar with the use of essential oils in the kitchen as well as the most delicate approach to enjoying them. Keep in mind you will be using the amount on the end of a tooth pick for most.<br />

Cleaning with Essential Oils Cleaning with essential oils is a non-toxic way to clean the home while lifting your spirits at the same time! As we see below, the power and energy of an essential oil can be delivered through a variety of systems, alcohol (for disinfecting) and the most common cleaning medium-good old soap and water. Most products in the store shelves are not "soap" and you will not see the word "soap" on them. Some people even try to brand SLS as "natural soap" and it is not. As you may all be aware, I use my own organic liquid soap to clean almost everything.<br />

How did essential oils become known for having particular medicinal qualities or target effects? Did someone sit around and think these up or just hand down stories from generation to generation? I wondered that myself because not one Aroma therapist I ever ran into would mention phenols, keytones or terms used in organic chemistry. It is very possible they avoided using “techno” words as not to open up the next question…what is a keytone, aldehyde? And so on. The truth is, essential oils are very much used in the world of pharmacy and most descriptions below were taken from a Merck Pharmaceutical manual! (1988 Merck Index Eleventh Ed.) </div>

<strong>Deborah Dolen's Cashmere Perfume Formula</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Excerpt <u><strong>How to Make Perfume</strong></u> Copyright © Deborah Dolen 2011 This e-book is available in full version on </em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Deborah-Dolen/e/B00457BI2S" target="_blank"><em>Amazon Kindle</em></a><em> and </em><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/Deborah-Dolen?store=ebook&keyword=Deborah+Dolen" target="_blank"><em>Barnes and Noble Nook</em></a><em>. By Deborah Dolen Mabel White</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
This is a seductive arrangement reminiscent of Chopard's Casmir. Chopard's Casmir embraces oriental vanilla, mango and subtle spices. You can craft this with essential oil or fragrance oils - just try to stay within the boundaries of the ratios below. Fruits generally do not come in essential oil mediums. This is why I listed them as just fragrance oil below. You can add a few of your own notes in, I think incense is awesome as a note (if you have captured any incense by infusion) and potentially sandalwood. You can anchor with a drop of Bergamot, I chose not too.<br />
<br />
5 drops of Mango or Peach fragrance oil</div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
5 drops of Jasmine fragrance oil<br />
4 drops of Musk fragrance oil</div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
4 drops Coconut fragrance oil</div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
3 drops Lilly of the Valley fragrance oil</div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
2 drops Patchouli essential oil</div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
2 drops Amber essential oil</div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
2 drops Oriental Vanilla essential oil [Tahitian]<br />
1 drop Cinnamon essential oil [Cassia is fine]<br />
1 drop Allspice essential oil<br />
1 drop Clove essential oil<br />
1 drop Nutmeg essential oil</div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
Since all of the top, middle and base notes are perfected above - this formula tolerates the addition of florals and other spices very well. So, if you want to add more florals or spices or a variety of them-you will probably end up with another designer scent. </div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
When you feel you have a perfume expression you love, you can then drop it into ethanol or perfumers alcohol to a dilution ratio you are happy with. This is the best way to convert an oil based recipe to a water based recipe. This formula is so special I do not use it for room spray. I use it for myself, in my bath, body lotions and so on. I discuss perfume dilutions here, in <a href="http://deborahdolen.blogspot.com/2010/07/deborah-dolen-on-perfume-crafting-with.html">Perfume Crafting</a>, and <a href="http://open.salon.com/blog/deborah_dolen_1/2011/05/20/how_to_make_perfume_enfleurage_method_-_by_dolen">how to make solid perfume here</a>. <a href="http://deborahdolen.blogspot.com/2011/06/deborah-dolens-perfume-formula-savannah.html">Savannah Botanical Perfume Formula</a> is here. </div>

Savannah Botanicals Perfume is a beautiful expression of the Savannah Garden's Crabtree fragrance. At one point it was discontinued for several years, and why I felt compelled to make a close reflection. I worked on this for a few years and came up with a spicy, sweet floral that is a professional smelling blend. I formatted the formula in fragrance oil terms as well as essential oil terms. Most people cannot afford essential oils but have an easier time securing fragrance oils.</div>

You can test this on a small scale, using fragrance oils - to see if you like the end result. Basically, to conduct a test using fragrance oils-just use the second formula that call for drops. When you feel you love it, you can then drop it into ethanol or perfumers alcohol to a dilution ratio you are happy with. This is the best way to convert an oil based recipe to a water based recipe. I use it for room and linen spray, and at times, I give it as a gift in a solid perfume form. I discuss dilutions here, in <a href="http://deborahdolen.blogspot.com/2010/07/deborah-dolen-on-perfume-crafting-with.html">Perfume Crafting</a>, and <a href="http://open.salon.com/blog/deborah_dolen_1/2011/05/20/how_to_make_perfume_enfleurage_method_-_by_dolen">how to make solid perfume here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you like the perfume you can also put it in bath oils, body lotions, and so on. You may want to get picky about your fragrance oil sources anytime you put products on your skin - meaning when you are going beyond making room and linen sprays.

If you are into DIY, you can read educational news and posts about anything in DIY, and if you feel like it-you can even participate in the conversation. The same is true for couponing, if you are into coupons, or even environmental postings you can select that area to learn how to "go green."</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">I think Twitter will play a huge role in the next Presidental election.

I wonder if we won't all get on line some day to simply click a button to elect our president. Beyond polictics, DIY, crafting, and coupons-you can even follow your favorite music artist, sports, or just stay current on the news. I follow sports, mainly NASCAR and horse racing. Other area's I follow are the perfume makers as they always have neat ideas. </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Cooking up a storm?

Twitter people want to see "Rapture" and "LeftBehind" in the running. I was thinking "ThereIsNoHeaven" should run in that litte trifecta-owner, naturally, Stephen Hawking, to make a shocker of an ending promised by major know nothing (no not Hawking) but the real master of doom Harold Camping. My take on that expiration date is more a Lucifer date-he knows his time is almost up-not to mention the small detail that Harold Camping signed business contracts that begin after May 21, 2011 . </div><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Back to the real world, betting on the Preakness is always a lot easier than the Kentucky Derby because there are far less horses and those horses who performed well at the Derby usually perform better at the Preakness. The caveat to all of this is horses do not usually win on dirt and go back to win on synthetics. I know I said in my last article, Animal Kingdom had no dirt experience at all and I ruled him out, albiet his Jockey I ruled in. Animal Kingdom won the Derby anyway and I learned an exception to every rule. Animal Kingdom was my belated pick at the Derby because of the Jockey. That Jockey, John Velazquez, was supposed to ride Uncle Mo – who became ill with suspected gastric issues as the Derby approached.<br /><br />Uncle Mo is still recovering at Winstar Farm where he has been since May 9th. Uncle Mo is doing better and has gained 30 pounds. He had lost at least 60 pounds during his perplexing illness. Speaking of rest, Nehro has been pleasantly excused from the Preakness. His owner, Ahmed Zayat did not feel compelled to enter Nehro in the Preakness and loves his horse enough to give him a break. For that reason alone, Nehro’s owner just won five Preaknesses in my book. This leads to my other point about Animal Kingdom, I think beyond going back to a synthetic track, and the fact he is probably tired – I am betting on him for show. That is third place. He has been run a lot the last year.<br /><br /><strong>Midnight Interlude [7]</strong> had a jockey change since the Derby, to Martin Garcia and there is no doubt Garcia knows how to bring Interlude to his best racing potential. My best guesses Derby wise were the Jockey guesses. Since I am talking Jockeys, I need to mention Julien Leproux and <strong>“Dialed In” [12.]<br /></strong><br />Based on all of that, my picks are <strong>Mucho Macho Man [9],</strong> <strong>Dialed In [12]</strong>, <strong>Animal Kingdom [11],</strong> and <strong>Midnight Interlude [7].</strong> I will just probably trifecta box those four.</div><br />To see the <a href="http://www.preakness.com/">Preakness line up click here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><a href="http://deborahdolen.blogspot.com/2011/05/kentucky-derby-run-for-roses-by-deborah.html">Deborah Dolen on Kentucky Derby 2011</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div>Deborah Dolenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11148293955065649418noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031086581198280189.post-31312049060577627062011-05-12T10:02:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:54:47.312-07:00Deborah Dolen Saratoga NY Summer 2011<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoNDQysOVseAQgq0aDq1nwrHHBmHVQ591_Q38N53V0ddts0FwATgIzPbs6oPkHShD46OujlPHhw5YZPyuZE9L4JWImKgE1ztQ6FWhRWi1KiIVuBFg7XQI0utcZuYb7zp1VYtZamyRW8pwC/s1600/Deborah_Dolen_image_51.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605881104775091666" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 212px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="Photo Deborah Dolen" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoNDQysOVseAQgq0aDq1nwrHHBmHVQ591_Q38N53V0ddts0FwATgIzPbs6oPkHShD46OujlPHhw5YZPyuZE9L4JWImKgE1ztQ6FWhRWi1KiIVuBFg7XQI0utcZuYb7zp1VYtZamyRW8pwC/s320/Deborah_Dolens_Lawsuit_image_51.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="justify">Now that I have passed a major bench mark in my life, I am getting back to writing. I am super excited to say some of my writing will take place this summer in Saratoga, NY. I will be in Saratoga for the the "Traverse," which is the oldest thoroughbred horse race in America. With any luck "Uncle Mo" will be there and I can visit with him. I grew up walking and grooming the most beautiful thoroughbreds on the planet, at Saratoga - and for the best Jockeys; Cordero, Shoemaker, and Belmonte to name a few. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">As far as Saratoga in August, I am trying to fly in early because Train and Maroon 5 play at Saratoga Performing Arts on the 9th or so of August. I will be visiting a few wineries and a pefumery while I am in upstate NY. If I have it my way I will be right back up there for the change of trees and skiing in Vermont this year. Books I have planned are two - one about making perfume which is more of a DIY endeavor and one "fiction" about the BP oil spill because I really think there was more to that than ever met the eye. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">I love making perfume, I think it is like "golf" is to many people - (and I do not like golf) but proponents of golf say it is a "challange" between your own self and a challange that can never really be won. So, they are attracted to a sport they can improve at, but never really "win" and that is very much like the past time of making perfume. </div>Deborah Dolenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11148293955065649418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031086581198280189.post-66988944891444464912011-05-07T09:44:00.000-07:002011-05-07T16:02:42.722-07:00Kentucky Derby Run for the Roses by Deborah Dolen<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM5jVrA60VyUhyrLWwNnJQyIikSEQWAwRFUfWvyTpJ5uXNIMCwWNA-YtZhg7DbX7nhFQgV3FZqAM_nGk8zUge_JuoGcMCf-2zp0W0cRXvpXLPNIQcbh5TRuRAJII0d1wY_xSmrxRB_gLGk/s1600/Mo_Best.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604037364103417090" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 258px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM5jVrA60VyUhyrLWwNnJQyIikSEQWAwRFUfWvyTpJ5uXNIMCwWNA-YtZhg7DbX7nhFQgV3FZqAM_nGk8zUge_JuoGcMCf-2zp0W0cRXvpXLPNIQcbh5TRuRAJII0d1wY_xSmrxRB_gLGk/s320/Mo_Best.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />There are many horses in this race, but just the same, many that have never ran on dirt or performed well on dirt - process of elimination is the best way to figure the outcome of the 2011 Kentucky Derby. The track is wet and expected to stay wet, and that will matter. I will get to the horses that only know or prefer grass or synthetic turf in a moment. If you are betting in the Derby try to pick your top six and stay flexible. A few contenders always get scratched at the last minute, so stay flexible. I tend to pick my top six-so last minute exits do not affect my positioning so much.<br /><br />The favorites right now for the Kentucky Derby are <strong>Nehro [19]</strong>, <strong>Twice the Appeal [3], Pants on Fire [7]</strong>, in that order. <strong>Twice the Appeal</strong> normally would not be a huge contender, but the jockey, Calvin Borel, former three time Derby winner, (in the last 4 years) sure is. <strong>Mucho Macho Man [13]</strong> has also proven himself on dirt, and <strong>Dialed In [8] </strong>who is another favorite, because he is coupled with Jockey Julien Leparoux. <strong>Comma to the Top [6]</strong> is one I like and <strong>Archarcharch [1] </strong>- but he is on the inside and I do not think that is a good position for Archarcharch at all. A lot of people like <strong>Soldat [17]</strong> but I am not sure why because dirt tracks are not his bag. <strong>Brilliant Speed [2]</strong> is kind of a long shot favorite and I like him.<br /><br /><strong>Picking by Jockeys</strong><br /><br />If we just picked this race by the Jockey it would be <strong>Midnight Interlude [15] </strong>with Victor Espinoza, <strong>Twice the Appeal [3]</strong> Calvin Borel, <strong>Animal Kingdom [16]</strong> John Velasquez and <strong>Dialed in [8]</strong> Jockey Julien Leparoux.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Uncle Mo, photo above, who has been a huge favorite simply is not in the running. Uncle Mo is my Secretariat. I had the good fortune to walk and groomed Secretariat when I was younger at Saratoga, then onto Belmont and then the Meadowlands. Uncle Mo has been having serious gastrointestinal issues, and after being looked at by three different vets - they agree he is in no shape to run. His owner is concerned at Uncle Mo's lack of responsiveness to his meds.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>Master if Hounds [11]</strong> and <strong>Animal Kingdom [16] </strong>have never ran on dirt and it is supposed to be a wet track. <strong>Brilliant Speed [2]</strong> and <strong>Twin inspired [10]</strong> prefer turf or synthetic and never performed well on dirt.</div><br /><br /><p align="justify">I did not mention 4, 5, 9, 12, 14 and 20. Let's look at them: <strong>Stay Thirsty [4] Decisive Moment [5], Derby Kitten [9], Santiva [12] Shackelford [14] </strong>and<strong> Watch Me Go [20] </strong>because they are all long shots for verygood reasons. </p><br /><p align="justify">Upsets could be <strong>Stay Thirsty [4]</strong> and <strong>Archarcharch [1]</strong> who is either going to make it or break it on the inside of the tough first gate.<br /></p><br /><br /><p>My betting?

As summer approaches making your own perfume is a fun and easy project.<br />
<br />
Making your own perfume or cologne is extremely easy if you have lots of time to just experiment with blending various scented oils. Almost all scents originate from the oil part of a botanical extraction. Even if a scent is not usually found in an oil form it is always best to try to find the oil version of the scent you like when trying to blend - if it is available in oil form. Vanilla would be a great example. Making <a href="http://mabelwhite.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-make-best-vanilla-extract-great.html">vanilla extract</a> is essentially making a perfume. Meaning the scent of vanilla is extracted by a form of alcohal. Vanilla is usually sold as water based (extract) but can be purchased as a much harder to find oil (essential oil)-however the oil based vanilla is going to last much longer in most professional applications. In a nutshell, I made my first perfume years ago by combining different precious oils, fragrance oils, flavor oils and essential oils I liked and had on hand. My formula was a mixture of vanilla, musk, neroli, vetivert, sweet spices, white florals (such as lilly of the valley, white rose), oppomax and incense. It took months to "build." I even soaked incense in oil for a few months, to capture the scent of the incense. (Naturally I strained it when I when I felt it was the most scent I could impart.) For about a year I just dabbed the oil I formulated on myself. It was not until I took that oil mixture I adored and dropped it into a very high proof alcohol (190 proof ethanol) - did it "bloom" and blow me away. I cannot recall why I did that - I think I was just bored or trying to make what I did have stretch to also share with a friend. Dispersing the oil in a high proof alcohol gave the scent so many new facets. Like my creation went from two dimensions to several. Most importantly it made it "throw" just like the Chanel #22 I was trying to copy. Chanel had ceased making that arrangement years back and I could not envision living without #22. Number 22 was known as the "wedding" perfume made with only white flowers. Knowing this was a major advantage to coming close to a copy I liked. There is a "perfumers alcohol" that is about 200 proof, but it is not easy to get. Mainly those who sell it, will elaborate on why you "must" use that. I use whatever I can get my hands on and that is generally "Everclear" or Mohawk, 190 proof.<br />
<br />
<strong>Dilutions: What Makes Perfume Grade vs Toilet Water Grade?</strong><br />
I will call your final product a “compound” or “ester.” Once you have designed a great scent (compound) and given it a name it is going to be fantastic in any dilution! Your masterpiece “symphony” of oil based compounds will become more multifaceted with the addition of a high proof alcohol. A high proof alcohol such as Everclear 190 will “solve” your oils. Some states can only secure 150 proof and that is acceptable, but still not as good as 190. In fact, I really do not like 150 for much at all-so maybe forget that.<br />
<br />
<strong>Real perfume</strong> is usually <strong>10-20% of the master oils</strong> formulation and <strong>80% a very high proof alcohol.</strong> Some perfumeries add 5% distilled water in exchange for part of the alcohol but I never have. <strong>Colognes</strong> are usually <strong>maxim 3-5% of the precious formula</strong> with <strong>80% alcohal,</strong> and 10% distilled water. <strong>Toilet water</strong> is usually <strong>maximum 2% precious oils</strong> to <strong>80% alcohol </strong>and<strong> 20% distilled water.</strong> Body splash is pretty much in the cologne dilution category. I do worry about oxidation of precious raw materials so I drop anti-oxidants such as dendritic salt and or vitamin E into my oil blends. ROE, Rosemary Oleoresin extract is also great and very powerful but can discolor the project.<br />
<br />
Perfume = 10%-20% compound /5% distilled water/80% alcohol<br />
Cologne 3-5% compound/10% distilled water/85% alcohol<br />
Toilet Water=2% compound/18% distilled water/80% alcohol<br />
<br />
<strong>Materials to make Perfume?</strong><br />
Beyond securing a high proof alcohol such as Everclear 190 and distilled water, you can draw raw materials to make your compound from many places. I know people who soak special woods in alcohal to extract a special scent. I find that so facinating. I did the same with orange blossoms that were always plenty on my property in Florida. When making your own perfume, you are going to want to buy some atomizers when you are on a roll with a great scent or two. Sephora makes some really neat ones I buy on line - probably half the price of all others ($10) and same peformance. <strong>Always keep careful notes</strong>. Your best creation could be what you felt your worst mistake. My readers generally have the same materials around the house that I have in my lab. They generally already have fragrance oils, flavor oils and/or essential oils. My Chanel #22 copy had about 50% fragrance oil, 20% flavor oil and 30% essential oil because I drew from what I had. I made careful notes about my sources of each scent because, for example, a vanilla fragrance oil is no where near as strong as vanilla essential oil. This means much less vanilla is needed in my formula if I ever replaced vanilla FO with vanilla EO.<br />
<br />
<strong>Your Blend Can Go Into Lotion and Crème</strong><br />
Your compound can usually blend right into an already made lotion or crème without adding alcohol. Vanilla is my absolute favorite ingredient, and in almost all of my formulas, but the down side is browning. Vanilla seems to “bloom” into pink dots and over a month’s time make the entire lotion a pinkish brown. It looks just like women’s’ cosmetic foundation. Although the change always freaks me out, many of my friends liked that attribute and felt it was more natural. I am still on the fence about the “blooming” but I still loving my vanilla. Lately I just opt for a synthetic vanilla, that still is from a natural source. It is a tree resin. Meaning not all synthetics are dangerous chemicals. And some "natural" things that are "organic" are more dangerous that synthetics. Arsenic is a great example of a natural substance.<br />
<br />
<strong>Other Ways to Garner Scent</strong><br />
Many people do not realize water is the most used solvent known to man. When we make a cup of coffee we are using water to “solve” the parts of the bean we are after. This is also known as solvent extraction. Now envision putting barks, petals, spices (in whole or freshly crushed form,) citrus peels and/or moss in the coffee filter. The end result would be a melange of scent.<br />
<br />
Looking at scent compounding another way, think of vanilla extract. It is made over time by placing the vanilla bean in a high proof alcohol. To save money and perhaps reduce any residual alcohol smell, some distilled water is added to most extracts. As I said above, making <a href="http://mabelwhite.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-make-best-vanilla-extract-great.html">vanilla extract</a> is essentially like making perfume.<br />
<br />
<strong>Just for Fun! Extraction Project</strong><br />
In 16 ounces of a high proof alcohol (2 cups) put lemon citrus rinds, cinnamon sticks, a vanilla bean (partially macerated- spliced- for maximum flavor,) crushed whole nutmeg or any other peel, rind, aromatic you can think of. Petals are OK but do brown. Allow to sit for a few months, shaking a few times a week. Filter through a coffee filter. For a stronger result do it a second time. I call this “folds,” such as “four fold” if I repeat the process 4 times. The end result should be a wonderful aromatic base you can spray around your home. Keep this away from heat because alcohol is very flammable.<br />

Viewers then watched the patient efforts one the one pooch trying to wake the other one up. Even Cesar Millan Tweeted to me that it brought “tears to his eyes.” [<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.twitter.com/CesarMillan">@CesarMillan</a> if you want to follow that great guy on Twitter!] The video touching hearts world wide is here:<br /></div><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/J3TM9GL2iLI" allowfullscreen="" width="640" frameborder="0" height="390"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> After seeing the video everyone wondered the fate of the two dogs. The camera men took a lot of flack for leaving the dogs there. “They were located and removed by dirt bikes with cages strapped on the back,” said Kenn Sakurai. But the rescuer, the owner of the pet food company, made it clear there were many more. It took them 2 hours to ride them to the nearest shelter in Mito, Ibaraki-ken. Both dogs had ID chips and their respective owners have been identified. Regarding Sendai animals in general, there are reports of two horses refusing to leave their deceased owner. Witnesses said that is something that cannot be on video, naturally.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.worldvets.org">World Vets</a> is committed to helping and <a href="http://www.hsi.org">The Humane Society International</a> is shipping $120,000 worth of supplies and equipment to Japan.
