===============================================
That reminds me of how my Grandma Bloyd used to cook with lard, when I was 
growing up in Victoria. F'rinstance, she would take a tennis-ball size lump of 
lard and mix it in with the dough for breakfast biscuits. You can't get 
biscuits that taste that good at either Hardee's, McD's., or KFC. She bought live 
chickens from an old black man that came through town on a horse-drawn wagon once 
a week selling chickens, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and live turkeys (during 
the holidays). I tell ya, there ain't nothing like a fresh-killed chicken that's 
been fried up crispy with lard in an iron skillet! I also remember that when 
she cooked cornbread, she would take whatever grease was left over from 
breakfast ham, sausage, or bacon and stir it in the cornbread batter. Grandma B. 
lived to be 90, God bless her, and I still miss her "country" cookin'!
