No drop dumplings here. I make them with lard and flour, lard should be its own food group for baking and not just frying in. LOL Then I rolling pin them out, but they do puff up plenty.

NICE!!
Yes I agree with the lard!
There are certain stores around here that carry Lard by the big bucketfuls.
I also grew up with blood sausage (making them) as well as “black jello”.. you can get weird looks when you say you need to go to the store to buy pigs blood, and walk out with buckets as well 😂

lard for baking is very southern of you lol

I know you!
Your like… nahh I just go hunting … Fresh “lard, fresh blood”

I do get those 4 pound Armour green and white buckets most times I go to the grocery store. If it is fried it is done in lard and if it is any kind of dough for dumplings, biscuits, pie crust the lard comes out. LOL I do render down the fat for the lard after a hunt along with making pork rinds from the skin. Great way to control how spicy the things are. The only parts of a pig I don't care to eat are the ears and the feet.

We have those here. My grandfather loved pickled pigs feet as a snack whether from those jars or ones he prepared. He also liked pig ear sandwiches which are commonly found in these parts. He taught me all I learned about hog hunting and processing and preparing various organ dishes. When I hosted for New Years supper here for the family we had all that good stuff that makes folks say ewwww like chitlins and hog maws. I know some people thought I sounded like Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies preparing the meal.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Veggie wrap with spinach tortilla and red pepper hummus, green leaf salad with carrots, strawberry dressing, and French fried jalapenos, sweet pepper slaw.

I'm laughing at the contract between the above descriptions of lard and pig's feet versus Witty's veggie wrap (much more my speed)

Today we went out for lunch to celebrate our 27th Anniversary. It was actually the 8th but my husband was sick. We went with my sister-in-law and her daughter who live near.

I had an Impossible burger with cheese (cheeseburger) and a salad, and 5 of my husband's french fries. For dessert we had the "donut stack" so everyone at the table got 2 small cinnamon donuts and there was chocolate dip and caramel dip.

My husband had the teriyaki chicken burger and fries.

To keep my calories within my diet, I had 1 piece of multigrain toast with peanut butter for dinner, and some organic cherries.
