And lard makes the best pie crust ever. It may not be healthy but in pie crust, it cannot be beat.

Best gesture of 'waste not, want not' is my tipping the bottles upside down to get every ounce.<br /><br />I don't think my grandparents made lye soap, yet they always had this repulsive black thing at the bathroom sink called "Lava." What would those farm folk think of today's aromatic varieties? 🤨Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-36271535474385049672021-07-25T05:44:51.342-04:002021-07-25T05:44:51.342-04:00You're right.

To confuse women, buy them shoes made out of chocolate!!!<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-4487540016083867382021-07-24T23:32:13.263-04:002021-07-24T23:32:13.263-04:00Your memory is far better than mine is!Your memory is far better than mine is!Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-398297654173555882021-07-24T21:18:47.011-04:002021-07-24T21:18:47.011-04:00I'm thankful I haven't had to use lye soap...I'm thankful I haven't had to use lye soap, but I do remember Ivory soap floating. Fun to play with it in the bath! Here in our house my hubby has more products in the bathroom than I do lol. I gave up on makeup a few years back and haven't missed it. You are right though, Jack. Those fashion magazines that feature the "perfect" woman is hard for those of us who know we'll never fit that category. Glad God doesn't see the outer beauty but focuses more on the heart and its beauty.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-13616961982446151132021-07-24T20:17:22.074-04:002021-07-24T20:17:22.074-04:00I have used Lye Soap, I remember handling Pig Fat,...I have used Lye Soap, I remember handling Pig Fat, (Lard), I remember Grandma mae soap but really didn't pay too much attention to it as Butchering the Hog was part of our job and that was scraping the hide, hauling Hams to the smoke house or to the Ice House till they could be rendered !! <br />I remember using lard when cooking, i remember drinking cold milk or water and the coating the lard left in my mouth !!<br />Farm Life, couldn't beat it !
