I've been rendering fat from, 10 lbs. of bacon end pieces, in a big cast-iron pot (via the oven) while simultaneously cooking pinto beans on the stove. When they were both done, the strained grease and bacon were stored away and the drained beans were put into the greased pot, with other things...

Thanks

I cannot take credit for this recipe. All I have done is take a good recipe and make it better suit my preferences. I'm sharing it here because we ate it tonight and it really is good and I wanted others to have access to it :chef: The original recipe comes from here: Old-Fashioned Homemade...

:huh: stupidity is becoming an epidemic.

All things chicken for you? Well, I'm a chicken farmer. I think I may be able to assist you if you ever get in a creative rut. Call upon me anytime. :D

lol, cooking goddess. "'comfy chic' without the 'chic'" :P That's my home too, only my junk isn't even loved enough to be handed down, lol.

Mine too. The history of all things domestic is my thing: daily life, food, housing, fads, employment, social structure and values - so fascinating. :rolleyes:

Man, you guys have some nice historical pieces. I love the Victorian era. They loved worldly décor and its neat to see the way they incorporated it into their homes. My mother has a similar lamp that is inspired by Egypt.

OMGosh, look at that oil lamp! Holly molly; Victorian heart-throb!

That's very nice. I'm happy for you. I had no idea microfiber could look like soft leather.

Welcome :D This really is a great place. I hope you feel as welcomed as I have been made to feel.

Hey, welcome. The people here are very very nice! Do you focus on anything special in your blog, like desserts or "old-fashioned"?

Ooh, that actually doesn't sound half bad. The kids can make then for my grandson for quick freezer lunches to make mommy's day a bit easier. I bet I could make all sorts of things like the snowman, like farm animals maybe? I'll have to experiment. Thanks for the idea :chef:

Thanks to both of you. P. Fiona, your friend sounds very fun-loving. :) Nice to meet you

Well, food porn may be on your way, dear Addie. Was going to make my bread tomorrow and my littlest is at the age to learn the recipe. I was going to take pictures for my mother so, it would be easy to send a few this way. :D
