Your life must be fascinating. Have a great ride on your horse. Don’t let the door hit your behind on the way out!
OP, you know we must be kept in the loop on if you can get your Akene parts to reconcile their differences… and inquiring minds want to know if your CuisineArt makes it through the process. :winkgrin:

Why do you care enough to post in it then? Just leave.
Slightly OT, but last week DH walked in on me, in the kitchen, using the food processor. He’s like what’s for dinner it smells AMAZING. I knew he would flip if I told him the truth (a facial mask I make with clay, lemon, peppermint and almond oils, honey and cinnamon) so I was all “oh I’m making hummus”
Then I had to sneak the mask to the bathroom, wash the thing and actually make hummus real quick.
Sorry didn’t read all the posts (didn’t have time) and don’t know if this has already been suggested, but a bit of vinegar may work to re-emulsify the conditioner.
Did I really start a trainwreck by asking about a tack cleaning product? I’m feeling kind of proud. ’
But I haven’t tried the Cuisinart yet. Too much time riding, actually. Will report back!

Go mega blend that thing. But honestly I would call butet, they may send you a new bottle, then if the blending thing works, you have two!
“Call Butet”. Yes, let’s make this someone else’s problem, and get her a new tub of it for free, after the stuff sat in her trailer for a year in all kinds of weather extremes. “Then she’ll have two”. And that is why things cost what they do. Circling back to the retailer for a product that is not defective just means the tack-buying public pays for this one way or the other. I recently saw Dover take back Monaco boots that “wore out” after 6 months…from someone who rides 7 horses a day. But because they wore out in that time they gave her new ones. That would be like me taking them back after 3 years and wanting a refund.
If she can’t blend it back together that’s too bad (and not the end of the world) but I don’t want to pay for it.

This thread is still going ? OMG get a life[/QUOTE]
No. And also, Bite Me.
Back On Topic:
Yanno, the person I would PM about this whole issue is Peggy…in SoCal, signature is something like Evil Chem Prof… This is an issue for a chemist. You might as well get her to put her PhD to work for you. What else is she using it for? People are just sitting around with bad Akene and lamenting the extinction of Murphys Oil Soap in a Jar.
Don’t worry, 222. I’m not going to call Butet. 
mvp, I laughed unreasonably at your response to poor Atlas, whose barn appears to so much less fun than mine (where, er, we clean our tack AFTER riding and discuss all manner of world problems).
Back to your regularly scheduled train wreck - promise to break out the Devo and attempt to whip the Akene into shape tonight so everyone can get back to work.

Did you see that vinegar post? That’s a chemical solution. I don’t know what adding an acid would do to your mixing water and fat (and glycerine… or wax?) together. I can imagine, theoretically, what adding heat does.
Really, you should ask Peggy, Evil Chem Prof. As Janet Jackson once famously sang, “Yes, but what has (s)he done for you late-ly?”
And the Call Butet wasn’t a serious suggestion? I liked it. After all, you have applied all of the effort you have (with the fork and all), and you have tapped the collective knowledge of COTH… what else can you do? And it would be good to get the Authoritative Answer to this question.
Do you happen to have a second jar of Akene around?
I read this article, and while I couldn’t figure out what emulsifying agent you might be missing (alcohol?), they are spot on that getting the emulsion started is the hardest part. And if you have some from another batch, that would speed things up a lot.
Yer hilarious - brilliant!
This is the part I don’t get- if it’s so “expensive” why leave it to freeze and melt in the trailer for a year?

and the part I don’t get is if you have such a compelling life, why are you here?
seriously, I’ll be needing to know what exactly about this thread separated the jam out of your donut… maybe we can call your manufacturer and complain about how defective your behavior is being… :lol:
it is just so lame - this is def not a real horsemans site anymore - when is the last time any of these posters were actually “In” a publication of Chronicle of the Horse? Got rubber boots?

Oh, honey - judging by the posts you start, you’re no horseman maven.

222Orchids, I’d like you to meet Atlas Shrugged. I think you two have a lot in common!
In keeping with train wreck tradition, here are some topical recipe suggestions from McSweeney’s:
RECIPES THAT WOULD BE OFFICIALLY APPROVED BY THE AYN RAND INSTITUTE.
BY JOHN WARNER
Tournados of beef with shallots, dill-whipped potatoes, and objective reality in a Burgundy reduction sauce
Peach compote à la laissez-faire capitalism
Pro-reason epistemology served al dente with fresh spring vegetables in light broth
Eggs over easy, toast, hash browns, Canadian bacon and assisted suicide as a moral right
Whitefish, broiled

I’ll pray for you all - and your separated Akene
