Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I cook eggs, potatoes and hashbrowns in it, and add a dollop to my WT broccoli cheese soup (most of a bag of chopped broccoli, package of Uncle Ben's Chicken and Broc Rice mix, and package of cream cheese. Use twice as much water as the rice package says. I sometimes go half water, half chicken stock and add a dollop or two of bacon grease for flavor.
My dad used to waterproof his work boots with bacon grease back in the day.

It's a miracle product!
with bacon grease and duct tape, we should be able to solve all the world's problems.
Wow. There are fifty very very brave nuclear techs in Japan trying to stave off a nuclear catastrophe. From NYTimes.
A small crew of technicians, braving radiation and fire, became the only people remaining at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station on Tuesday — and perhaps Japan’s last chance of preventing a broader nuclear catastrophe.
They crawl through labyrinths of equipment in utter darkness pierced only by their flashlights, listening for periodic explosions as hydrogen gas escaping from crippled reactors ignites on contact with air.
They breathe through uncomfortable respirators or carry heavy oxygen tanks on their backs. They wear white, full-body jumpsuits with snug-fitting hoods that provide scant protection from the invisible radiation sleeting through their bodies.
They are the faceless 50, the unnamed operators who stayed behind. They have volunteered, or been assigned, to pump seawater on dangerously exposed nuclear fuel, already thought to be partly melting and spewing radioactive material, to prevent full meltdowns that could throw thousands of tons of radioactive dust high into the air and imperil millions of their compatriots.
I have an entire book of bacon.
I want to go to there.
Oh, wait, it's not a book made of bacon here you peel off the leaves and fry them up, is it?
Still probably pretty good.

dcp - wow, thanks for the link. That is amazing. And the guy sounds so calm for most of it.
Steph, are you still up? My roommate has a mixing medications question: [link]
psst! cook it in the oven on a sheet pan lined with foil. No splatter, and you just throw away the foil.
But then do you still collect the grease, off the foil somehow?!?
The foil bends into a half-assed funnel and you can just pour it off. Easy peasy. Pumpkin pie.
