Popcorn is the first thing I ever learned to cook when I was about 7. (This is why it BLOWS MY MIND my stepson cannot even make a sandwich and he's almost 9.)
My dad cleverly taught me (so I could make it for him) and I would make huge bowls to share.
Also, dig down to the silty grease at the bottom of the bacon grease jar (doesn't everyone keep their bacon grease in a bowl in the fridge to cook with?! I am so country still in some ways) because that's were the really yummy flavor is.
Steph, Tim is lucky to have you. In my world those things would disappear one day magically.
I'm starting small, with things like the 10 million plastic containers (cool whip, etc.) -- we do not need that many of them, so I take lunch to work in the sketchiest ones and then throw them away when I'm done.
Also? Any container without a lid or lid without a container? GONE. (It takes up more room, but I store the plastic containers with the lids ON them. That way I always know if I'm grabbing one with lid, versus spending 10 minutes looking for a lid that got lost in 1983.)
Soon I will be able to get rid of the drill press. Soon.
I cooked potatoes and onions in bacon grease for dinner tonight. It kind of stuck, because I just cooked the bacon and used the same pan, but the concept was sound.
How long does bacon grease keep in the fridge, anyway? I know I've got some in there but am unsure of its vintage.
Awesome suggestions. I'll keep you posted on what I end up with.
Mmm, I kinda of sniff it, and if it's rancid, you can tell. But I think for a pretty long time. I've never had a bad bacon incident. I mean, you can keep lard around forever in the fridge.
Transformer?
Well, smonster is more than meets the eye.

You can keep lard out of the fridge at the Pirate Store.
