Remember being grossed out by this and now sounds good if i ate bread

#1

When I was young my Dad told us kids they used to get chunks of bread and all the kids would fight around the stove to dip it in the bacon grease. Remember thinking so much fat so gross. Now I think they had it so right back then and then got told to stop eating all that fat. Now it sounds good the only gross part now is the bread.

My biggest “cheat” on “eating healthy” in the past was actually sneaking into the kitchen and eating the fat / fry-remains out of pan fried chicken, bacon, hamburgs etc., sometimes to the point of licking the pan. All that grease and salt, me gone to heaven …

I spatula it out onto my plate all over my food

Now I do too, but back then I felt like I’d just committed some mortal sin.

This reminded me…
Growing up my Grandmother ( miss her ) would make pork chops all the time
Breakfast, lunch and dinner :joy:
All of us grandchildren would leave all the THICK fat on our plates on purpose …yuckie at the time :nauseated_face:…for us

We left the piles of fat for her…:flushed:
She would ONLY, yes only eat the leftover plate of Fat from her 4 grandchildren
Awe the memories :sweat:

I can gladly say now…I do and did the same today
W some EXTREMELY Fatty Bacon!!
And other fatty meats as well

Crazy stuff.

Thinking of you gma
Love ya
