Yesterday afternoon a woman walks into my husband's very secluded office with a piece of paper in her hand. "Are YOU Kristoffer Rasmussen?" she asks. He replied with an apprehensive "yes". Extending the paper towards him, she continues the questioning... "Are you THE Kristoffer Rasmussen who wrote this article for
TCI Magazine?" He glances down to see she is clutching his article "
Shopping The Urban Forest", which he wrote about a whim I had one day to gather soap nuts to produce a locally grown natural soap for washing cloth diapers. Somewhere in that moment...caught in that awkward place where you're not certain if you feel accomplished or like a stalking victim....came the hope that someone might actually be listening, or even inspired enough, by our unconventional, seemingly random passions to seek us out for a quart jar of locally produced laundry soap. How much more could we inspire others to act, or think, or dream. I have been planning a detailed "how-to" blog entry on foraging for soap nuts..so in anticipation..I thought you would enjoy Kristoffer's article about how this soap came to be.
