I am a wimp when it comes to being cold. I am not used to the chilly weather here on the
Central Coast of sunny California! Of course, it does get cold but usually not this cold. And I made a big boo-boo. Not anticipating this weather way-back in August, I moved my big 50 lb boxes of oils out to the detached garage. I had pre-filled several plastic pitchers with the appropriately-weighed amounts of each of my soaping oils- Coconut, Palm, Olive and Canola. Now I used up my last pitcher and have been dreading hauling everything outside, into the freezing-cold storage room. But I bundled up, loaded up and out I went. After carefully pulling out ALL the boxes, setting up my pitchers, weight chart, scale and large metal spoon & ladle, I opened the first box; coconut oil. Or should I say 'coconut brick'. This stuff was completely impenetrable. :( Oh how I wished I had poured it all into jugs way-back-when, in the warm summer months. I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions? Am I overlooking a completely logical way of removing very precise measures of my oils, now that they are in this frightful state? Help!!

Not to worry Christine. But first, how cold did it get? I can't imagine sunny Cali being cold! What was the temp? Okay now if you could just get that oil to a place that's at least 76 degrees, to thaw, it should be fine.
it's gotten in the 20's and 30's as of late, can you believe it?? brrrrrr. :O
i know, my hubby said, what's the big deal, just haul it all back in the house! haha, he's so wise. i think i'll get a batch or two going this weekend. wish me luck!
