Hello Babsboy! Welcome!

Speaking of fat.... the meat processors near my house are setting me up with pork fat next week... MJ, me, and my oldest daughter will be rolling in lard soon, lol...

Boy now that's a picture.

Pork fat is heated slowly and the oil cooks off. You want to do it so that the oil doesn't get to hot or it will have a scorched taste and color. When the fat is cooled, it solidifies and becomes lard. Lard was what you had to use before vegetable shortening was invented.

Thanks for the lesson, Opa! I had the same question. Kind of like saving the bacon grease to cook my scrambled eggs in. Right? Only a lot less fat to deal with.

Welcome Babsboys! Glad you found us. Looks like your one of my neighbors too!

vicki2x2- Did you get a PM from Chickflick?? We lost 5 of the bantams. Tried to bring them around with drops of vitamin/mineral water. No such luck

. Don't know what the problem was, chilled perhaps. I think considering the cold snap they were shipped in we are lucky thats all that was lost. They did ship extras.

I think from what I am reading that we will literally be rolling in it, lol. I think we are going to have a lot. We may have to start a new trend... lard rendering parties- better than Tupperware, lol.
