Another use for the fat (if you don't use it as others have suggested) is to give some to your chickens. They appreciate a little extra in the winter especially.

Waving, from Nova Scotia.

I have no idea about the reasons for people leaving, but I guess it is the same as other forums, and sometimes RL; someone posts what someone else disagrees with, and instead of just having a difference of opinion, it becomes a personal attack. I'm still here (although I don't post much I DO...

Snowed here last night and is still snowing on and off; not much accumulation, only a couple of inches or less, but my poor crocuses look like they've gone into hiding...

Central Nova Scotia here! * waves

Have to agree...I learned to like mint sauce with lamb while living in England. I have chocolate, orange, and other mints growing, but unfortunately they've all grown together so now I just use whatever is near when I want some. And if you eat pork, it goes well with that, too.

Sometimes what we call food allergies are really food sensitivities. Maybe some of your symptoms are sensitivities which show up only in conjunction with other things? Apparently, I have an egg 'allergy', but I've never shown any symptoms except when I've had a needle which uses egg as a base...
