Spoontease. :-)

Please, what are the original recipe and your redaction? I've looked in 
where I think I have any Manual De Mugeres recipes and redactions, 
which is this file, and there doesn't seem to be any handcream in 
there.

I also have these two other files on handcream, but that particular 
recipe isn't in these either.
