It is a rainy morning, I am lazy. Been over on SS, started a thread about lard. I rendered 4 quarts of lard yesterday, probably get twice that today. Got 2 pots going of chopped pig fat. Haven't even got dressed yet. lazy slob, that's what I am. Just drained the coffee pot, so guess I'll get dressed and go outside to feed. Animals must hate me by now...….
We have been getting into lard rendering. All natural V.S. veggie oils.
Glad to hear!

Same here Bay... gotta sign off now and go feed goats.
And get working on walls for their shelter so they can eventually stop crawling under the floor! Hope your body is up to it.

Regular - which equates to light and sweet for those unfamiliar
That would have been me when I moved here. Asked for regular coffee. Very surprised when it came with cream and sugar already added. In So. Cal, regular meant black and decaf meant black, you ask(ed??) for the other things separately. If you didn't ask, you got unadulterated black, regular or decaf.

I found my little girl passed last Tuesday morning and I miss her so, so much. 15 years together in this house. Miss her meeting me at the door, snuggling, being at my feet. Sad, sad, day. :hit Having hard time with it and no new one considered for a while, I'm sure. Just not "there". Now I'm alone in the house and miss her presence.
:( So sorry MH! Hard enough to lose a pet but when it is your sole home companion, so much worse! :hugs

HI LATESTARTER!
We opened up the retired "Buck Paddock" this morning. The grass and mostly weeds are over 5 feet tall. It's like a scene out of the Jurassic Park Movie to see the tops of the thick brush move and can't see any of the goats. 13 of them in there and they vanished into the Bermuda Triangle of Foliage. I can't leave them in there all day. Bloat is inevitable. They don't know how to enjoy in moderation.

:lol: I want to move to Washington! Those coffee shacks got me so excited as we passed one after another! I’ve been to 48 states, and lived in four (It seems like more). Washington only gets my vote for residency because of the huts.

Could maybe get me excited too if I lived or traveled thru that part of the world.
Some of those coffee bikini baristas evidently were selling more than coffee & had a special meaning to "want cream with that?".............or (more likely) Starbucks was losing market share and knew their horrible product couldn't compete.

Well, my lazy self rendered 8 quarts of lard, plus made cracklins. The first batch of cracklins I made, we put cheese over them, nuked in the microwave to melt the cheese, salted them and chowed down. Dang they were good! The last batch is about ready to come out of the skillet. DH has been getting up to stir, I have a puppy asleep in my lap and he mustn't be disturbed......LOL That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Plus it has allowed me to rest for a little while, sat down about 40 minutes ago. Been needing a rainy day so I could stay in and get some things done.

@Farmer Connie I would appreciate your input on making lard. A good discussion of "how-to" benefits everyone.

Just had to put Luna down. I'm trying desperately to hold it together. She was one of our bottle babies. Jupiter knocked her up despite our attempts to prevent it and they must have died in her and we had no idea because she never showed signs. She went downhill rapidly today. Went septic and in shock.
