I just turned eighty, and, let me tell ya, you're in for some thrills, spills and wacky fun times once old age starts a-creepin' into your bones! LOL!

Not wrong. And the worst thing is that when mother nature decides you should have an unplanned medical adventure she absolutely refuses to take NO for an answer.
As far as she is concerned, your body belongs to her and she can do whatever she likes with it.

Today I went in to the four big chain supermarkets (2 chains with two stores each) in Bundaberg to buy beef dripping for cooking and none of them had what I wanted - only another product that claims to be 100% animal fat and tastes like shit.
Basically, as I understand it, there are four animal fat groups.
Fortunately a smaller chain, IGA, still stocks dripping.
Basically, as I understand it, there are four animal fat groups.
- Beef, called dripping, used for cooking
- Pork, called lard, used for cooking
- Poultry, called schmaltz, used for cooking
- Sheep, called tallow, used for cheap candles - good candles use bees wax.
Fortunately a smaller chain, IGA, still stocks dripping.
Fat saved off lamb roast is excellent. Tallow is made from suet which is the hard white fat from beef or mutton - from the loins
or around the kidneys - known in fat form as suet.
You might be able to get some preferred fat from a butcher if you still have any around. We are lucky as we still have one
at the end of our street - - even the sausages are still completely topside mince fill and the beef is all aged perfectly..... now
I'm hungry......

We have a good butcher only 10km away in a town of a few hundred residents where we get our meat and in the past I have always bought the prepared dripping at IGA a couple of doors down. To find that dripping was not available in the major supermarkets that have 80% of the Aus market peeved me off.
Our local butcher smokes his own bacon and you can smell it right down the main street when he is doing that. Heaven.
So does the other butcher in town but his meat is no better than IGA's.

So true. And, sometimes, she can be one, mean "Mother"........
Annoyed it's too soft a word. Angry is more like it. As some of you know in the whole of Europe "Stolpersteiner" are being laid in the pavement in front of places where Jewish families used to live until they were murdered by the NAZIs. Some disgusting lowlife found it necessary to remove some of those stones here in my city. Not sure if this is because of the current situation in the Middle East and I don't care. These people had nothing to do with current Israel, but these were our countrymen that we let being killed. Let's remember them for the failure of humanity during the war, so we won't make this mistake again.
