Save all the greases! I store fat (bacon, duck)in mason jars in the fridge. Just take a spoonful out and throw it in the pan.
Okay, so do you pour the grease into this jar each time you cook bacon? Does the grease on the bottom of the jar not eventually get rancid/funky? Or do you empty the jar and fill it with new grease each time you cook bacon?
Sorry, this is completely foreign to me. I didn't even know this was a thing until I watched mayonaise make eggs in the chatroom one night, haha.
I just wanted to address this now that I see it Saving bacon grease is like, the best version of using crisco. (I mean who uses crisco anymore?) AND just like any animal product, you can tell when it's no longer good if it starts to get smelly. For example - I probably cook bacon once.... every 3 months??? Not often. But I save that grease for eggs and other stuff. I've made it to the bottom of my grease mug (Yes, it's a mug, with pandas on it, and a top... I think it was originally meant to be a tea mug, with a strainer piece) but I've never had it go bad, and there have absolutely been weeks inbetween uses.
Bacon grease on the back of the stove is a southern thing, and I love it.
Okay back to your regularly scheduled randomness! Love you all!

Making cornbread without bacon grease is sacrilege. That is all.
Back on the culinary topic. Check out Junior Master Chef on FOX if you are into cooking shows. These kids are 8-13 and the plates that they come out with are unreal. (Warning: May cause one to be embarrassed if they cannot cook)

So true. I was a little hesitant, thinking the Junior Master Chef would be too gimmicky. But holy $hit, those kids can cook! Can you even imagine what they'll be doing in 10 years? Every episode I'm shocked at the things they're able to produce.

Thanks, I think I just dry-heaved a bit. I could live 100 years and I will never, ever understand this twisted culinary fetish for combining bacon and sweets. That's every bit as as gag-worthy as a chocolate steak or caramel sushi - just plain wrong!

I suppose corn itself is somewhat sweet, but I don't know that I would classify cornbread as a "sweet" per se.

Depends on how you make it. I have had some cornbread before that tasted more like a dessert.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

OH NO you didn't Cap'n Mac! Cornbread is NEVER supposed to be sweet. Sweet cornbread is a Northern thing... you do not add sugar to cornbread in the South. I don't wanna have to start a fight here

A quick Google search for Southern cornbread (and fuzzy memories of the one time I had it) shows you are correct. Still not to my tastes, but I can picture it more clearly now. I guess it wouldn't be so different from the cheesy bacon beer bread I tried in my bacon-eating days of yore.

If it's good cornbread, it will be greasy and mealy. The bacon grease would just grease the pan/skillet... I don't think you actually add the bacon grease to the cornbread (my grandmother doesn't).
