🔗 Grandma never wrote hers down, so I finally did. All 118 plus much more. Get em before they're gone: https://www.opalrowe.com Opal Rowe is eighty years old, and for forty years somebody at every family reunion has cornered her by the pie table to ask what she puts in her crust. She always said lard and let them think it was the same lard everybody has. In this one she counts down 30 free Appalachian tricks that beat every bottle of cooking oil, from the grease can on the back of the stove to the cracklins in the cornbread to the applesauce in the spice cake, and the first few you can use in your kitchen this week. All the while a pint jar sits on her kitchen table, poured warm last night and set up white as new snow by morning. Her mawmaw kept it apart from every other fat in the house and never told a soul why. Until now. In this one, Opal covers: • One spoon of bacon grease in a hot iron skillet, and the bottom crust no bottle of oil ever made • Killed lettuce, pot likker over cornbread, and sawmill gravy made from fat that was already in the pan • Applesauce and apple butter in place of the oil in cakes and quick breads, and the mayonnaise cake she sets straight • Beef tallow, the hard white fat that fried America for a hundred years, and why the fries changed in 1990 • What is in that pint jar on her kitchen table, and the old coffee can her mama left her that was never written in any will Tell Opal down in the comments where you are watching from, and who kept the grease can in your family's kitchen. What did your people call it, drippins, grease, or bacon fat? Is there anybody left in your family who still keeps the old can on the back of the stove? Opal reads every last one.
