I saw a post on X from RFK praising Steak ‘N Shake for switching from seed oils to beef tallow. I’ve heard him express nostalgia for pre-1990’s cooking and how McDonalds used beef tallow until 1990. My best reference to pre-1990 cooking is from eating what my Nanny prepared. She used lard and bacon grease for everything and lived to be right at 100 years old.
Here’s where I admit my stupidity…
I thought lard was the same thing as beef tallow. Most of you know that lard is from pigs and beef tallow is from cows. I didn’t know that and my only excuse is that I use olive oil and vegetable oil. Not to throw anyone under the bus, but Perry didn’t know this fact either, but my Momma sure did! She said I didn’t know because I’m not from the “old school.” I thought it was all just GREASE.
I do know a beautiful sunset when I see one though!
Warm outside but crazy windy last night, I couldn’t help but get whipped around to grab a shot across the field.
Now you know: In 1830, Victor Hugo locked away his clothes to avoid procrastination and leaving the house. He finished “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” in just six months.
