HERB - tallow making

Good grief, I can't *believe* I forgot to check the Toiletries
Library. I looked at the-sage, but didn't see it there. Thank you
Lady Diana.

Nope, tis alright. I may be horrible at simple math (ask anyone
I know) but I can do the soap calculations for some reason. I'd
really like to do soap over an open fire next year sometime.
Do we have period butchering manuals that detail rendering at
all? Again we're probably dangerously close to off-topic
commentary here, but as the making of soap is a precursor to
wonderful herbal things like molded soap balls with herbs then
I don't feel so badly about it.

Thanks again for looking for me!
