Sheep tallow does not sound good just sayin’ I use vegetable oil and olive oil but do use lard and bacon dripping too and butter also but none of those “like butter” things.
We rendered our own lard as well, along with Lye soap. We also got cracklins from the rendering, that make good cracklin bread. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/55512/cracklin-bread-ii/
Good Morn'in Grey Wolf -
gym for it - plus we get a good workout - makes good financial sense to all of us -
Now that is one method I never heard of. I sat here thinking about how that would work, and I came up with this:
saw this on the news off the Virginia coast…….
My hats off to your practical solution brother! We used our fireplace one winter waiting for our dead oil furnace to be replaced with a gas one. I had the gas run and the gas company did it up to our house and installed a meter without charge to get us as a customer.Good Morn'in Grey Wolf -
My electric boiler broke down well over a year ago - and I have since refused to have it fixed - due to the astronomical cost quoted to me - in some ridiculous 'estimate' - and I must say that it has worked out quite well financially for us here - since we do have an electric kettle that costs very little to heat up - so we still do technically have hot water -
Neither do we have any heating on in the apartment - but we do have electric blankets - and lots of very warm clothing -
Our apartment doesn't have a gas connection - so we only have electricity which costs around 30 pence (around 40 USA cents) per kilowatt hour - and for the past whole year we only spent £999 on electricity - which works out at around £2.70 per day -
When we did have 24/7 hot water and heating our annual bill was around £4000 per year - so we are very happy to have saved £3000 this past year - and if we need a proper scrub-up (in a very hot power shower) - clean towels/soap and moisturiser - a jacuzzi and/or a dry or wet sauna - then we all March a mile to the
We live near the Thames River - on the Surbiton side of Kingston-Upon-Thames - it's a London Borough - in England - and the apartment is an ex-council flat - 30 steps up on the 3rd floor - so we do benefit a bit from the heat emanating from the 2 apartments below - rarely the temperature gets below freezing in the winter - and if it does get really-really cold then we do have an electric heater we could turn on - in an emergency - but haven't had to use it yet this year at all - our home is not rented to us - because I was able to take out a mortgage and buy it many years ago - from the local council -
Here that would be closer to a condo than an apartment. Do you get charged an annual fee to maintain the building and grounds?
They made me take my shoes off.
I'd be all over them.
and french fries are exceptional.
Oh yes the cracklins were the best home made yum. I would eat the heck out of them till I got a belly ache when it was hog killing season

Wow I thoght Long Island was bad considering we are still paying for a nuke plant not on line because of the lame and woke. Also some educated asz hole decided to fire it up at a low % before shutting it down.Good Morn'in Grey Wolf -
