Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

It is rendered far from over the kidneys in a pig. It makes very good pie dough. It is like regular lard but does not have as much Piggy taste to it.

This reminds me of a recipe that I have wanted to try which calls for beef suet; not the kind you might use in a bird feeder, but the fat from the kidney area of cattle. Apparently it isn't too easy to find.

Yes!

Nearly all of the supply of Leaf Lard from pigs goes to commercial places. It is very hard to find unless you make it yourself. Even the fat over the kidneys is hard to find.

I'm currently trying to motivate myself to make some stovetop espresso. I have to grind the beans by hand, but I know it'll be worth it.

Ronott, I'm trying to remember where I saw a link to an online source for suet for cooking. It was probably on one of my anglophile type forums, Anglotopia or Smitten By Britain.

Pigs make good "pets" too! Very smart! Very hard headed!

Did you manage? Was it good?

morning! Looks like the south is gearing up for round 2, starting tonight. *sigh*

Good morning. Having a cup of plain old Folgers. I don't think the winter will reach far enough south to affect us. I'd love to see some snow.
