Bacon, bacon, bacon is one of the major food groups along with chocolate. My stepsister was visiting from Australia, and American bacon is very different than what they get over there. She ate bacon for EVERY MEAL while she was here. <BR/><BR/>I'm really excited to learn all these things you are teaching.....especially rendering lard.

So nice to meet you! I have really enjoyed reading your blog and will love the lessons on bacon, on lard what ever you share.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about butter, and my grandma used lard all the time. I just know that's why her pie crust was the best! I buy locally grown beef & pork. I am going to ask the rancher if they make lard...<BR/><BR/>I'll be back often. Chris<BR/><BR/>P.S.

That's MY vote. That's something I know nothing about and would be interested in learning. Bacon, ham, and pork chops are all some of my favorite meats, and I want to learn at least how one of them is made, anyhow. <BR/><BR/>Now....butchering I couldn't do, so you can skip that part if you don't mind. LOL<BR/><BR/>Oh, and thanks for the lesson on "boary" smelling meat. That was interesting.<BR/><BR/>Gee, not long now til the new babby will be here! Check out this site...you could use this for the next baby on your blog. You can set it so it will tell how many more days before your due date. I thought it was kind of clever myself.<BR/><BR/>http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/baby-ticker <BR/><BR/>Anxious to see those pics of makin' bacon! And then maybe you will share pics of the new baby with all of older gals who can't have babies anymore. Bet you'll be glad when he's here and you're back home.

Your a pro now!<BR/>Wow your a real farmer, you don't get sentimental about your animals. I care a LOT about where my animal products come from. I buy organic butter and 1/2&1/2. I think contaminated animals is a major cause of disease and cancer, so how's that for an opinion? I'm not sure if I can really watch you "butchering," but i'm very curious about everything. You are totally right about store lard it is NASTY! I have never had "good" lard so i honestly don't know what I'm missing. But oh do I love butter, and I have the buns to prove it.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154564133586355085.post-86430373696802826002008-07-18T20:34:00.000-07:002008-07-18T20:34:00.000-07:00Nope, you arent alone Heidi.

(Only lust after chocolate though..lol... next to Dear Husband...lol) I have developed a "thing" lately, about really wanting to learn more how to cook and bake more, and REALLY know what is going into our bellies. I dont buy junk food, (aside from chocolate....lol) pre-packaged foods, yada yada yada... The way I see it, the more I can learn the healthier my family will be. Keep em coming girl!
