Rendered my first batch of lard today from the back fat of a pig we bought a few months ago. It's quite excellent if I do say so myself! It looks much browner in the picture than it really is. Once it cooled and got refrigerated, it turned nicely white as it should.
Dear tiny newborn baby Jesus... Please do not let the world end too awfully soon. I recognize that my soul-sister and nerdfriend hath now rendered lard and that this is the 4th sign of the apocalypse, but things are just getting good really good and I'd really rather not see the end of days juuuust yet. Please do not smite us yet with your tiny newborn fists? kthx. <3 ~me

ReplyDeleteHow do we secretly publicly trade emails so we can gossip? Is there an internet ladies room somewhere out here?
BTW, was just at your blog and that's one adorable boy you have there. Monkey is precious as well! =P

How about this: myfirstname502 at yahoo dot com... or myfirstname.mylastname at navy dot mil. The former I can only get to at night and the latter is all day but not on the weekends.
