So today we are doing ribs on the smoker followed by a quick deep fry. As always, there is a bump in the road. I bought beef suet and fat last week to make more tallow. I got a call from work and time got away from me. I ended up feeding it to the dogs. Fast forward, I go for the tallow and it is not enough to do these ribs.

I go to the grocery store to buy some lard. There are no tubs-1/2 gallon buckets. Just these very small packages. I usually shop in the Hispanic section and they no tubs of lard.

I asked the store worker if they had any and she said they no longer carried the large tubs of lard or the tallow. She said they were discontinued as the store was trying to make room for the 'healthier' oils like Canola, Corn, and Peanut oil.

I probably missed a great opportunity to educate but I pretty much left it at, "You may want to dive into that thought process a little deeper, as these oils are in the top two or three of the absolute worst things for your health that is sold in this store".

And of course, she looked at me like I was some alien that had just fallen out of the sky.

Anyway, a quick funny before I crawl back up under this Blazer and probably start using words that will offend most. This gas tank has put the beat down on me the last three or four days.

You can educate the ignorant and medicated the crazy but you can’t fix stupid.

Hell my dog is smarter than they are.

Say treat she looks at me like I'm crazy but ask "do you want a treat " she's in her spot sitting patiently.

So I can undoubtedly say she knows healthy foods and unhealthy.

We make her treats from chicken breast with avacado oil spritzed on them.
