I've made suet

[conuly]

In fact, I've made entirely too much suet and it's now cooling all over my kitchen.

One of these days I'm going to have to learn the meaning of the word "moderation" and apply it to my own life. That day apparently is not today.

If I could be there in a moment, I would be, and would relieve you of some of your suet. I recently discovered just how good suet pastry is, and would love to make it from scratch.

This is suet for the birds. It's not made with actual suet, it's made with lard, peanut butter, and mealworms.

[reynardo]

*disappointed noises* I know the stuff you mean though.

The birds will enjoy your suet, but I, too, am vaguely disappointed that it isn't real suet for making pastry. I would like to try that. Grandma always used lard in hers, but I don't care for lard (or even pork), so I use butter. I do like red meat (not that I eat it often), so I suspect that I would like a pie crust with suet in it, and am curious to try.

If they don't, the squirrels certainly will. We're entering the hungry period for squirrels, poor things.

You sound like my mother trying to make pasta. She always ends up with what we call "a pasta explosion"!

[conuly]

She's only got one serving size and that's "cook for an army"? I know that feeling.

What is the "moderation" that you speak of?

[conuly]

Heck if I know. That word doesn't appear to be in my dictionary.
