While  going through one of my bookcases, I run across an old book from my Grandmother. It was dated 1933 and had "little finger "  writing in it, math, simple words that sort of thing. On one page she had a recipe for biscuits and gravy with bacon grease. I had to smile to myself thinking how time has changed. I remember that big glass jar of bacon grease that as a child we saved on the stove to use for cooking, and many other things, such as vegetables . Soap as well. 
Now it is almost scoffed at to save bacon grease or to even fry food or to use grease at all. My oldest granddaughter just loves bacon.. I think I just might surprise her one day and make her a special loaf of soap out of bacon grease. WOW,, I am such a rebel :-)
