Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[ChickenCanoe]

We grew corn and harvested corn from others' farms. That was primarily for the pigs but I'd throw a few ears to the cattle and horses occasionally but they were always out on pasture.
We usually hayed our pastures once a year and that fed the cattle through the winter but they still grazed.

Removing the paddle is an option, though there’s a hole on the centre of the pan (where the paddle fits). Apparently the 2020 models don’t have the same design flaw

The best option is for scientists to tell us proper deep-fried food is good for us

My MIL will swear that food deep fried in lard is healthy for you.
I'm not joking. Love her though.

Tonight I will make cheese stuffed chicken breast, scalloped potatoes, sweet corn, and left over green beans.

Amazingly, Lard is considered a good oil now! Butter is a neutral food

I remember my dad loving to eat raw ham fat.

I remember my dad loving to eat raw ham fat.

I don't think I would enjoy raw ham fat, but cured ham fat in Italian charcuterie... YES!

It is very hard to change my beliefs on lard too!

Lard makes the best pie crust! Also proper tamales.

So much of what's supposed to be good or bad for you is influenced by old bad science and/or food industry lobbyist I've always just stuck with the philosophy of "the closer to nature it is the better" and "a little bit of anything is probably ok and a lot of anything probably isn't".

For dinner tonight we're going to have the chili my husband made and simmered for most of yesterday. It has linguica, ground beef, chopped steak, bacon, hot and sweet peppers, onions, roasted tomatoes, pinto beans, and corn.

I agree that it is better but grew up on red or white meat never was sick till I had to leave that
within 6 years I had cancer then Graves took my vision years after we beat the cancer
