Lovechooks, why do you say not to reheat fat? From Great Grand-grammy on down, we've a long tradition of saving fat & reusing it. A little bacon grease on bread is actually quite tasty, and its great in grean beans too. I put it in the freezer in ice cube trays, so I can get out only what I need.
ETA: Ahh, thanks Free!

Sorry I didn't see this before. Using animal fat in any way is not healthy for your arteries basically when you cook a roast and that runny fat hardens the next day, that is exactly what it's doing to your arteries.

There are good fat's and bad fats, i am not an advocate of eating no meat, I actually love meat but I choose my cuts and only eat very low fats.

Avocardo's and all nuts are extremelly healthy fats, they actually benifit your heart.

I am talking simply from a health point of view here I am pretty heavily into health and fitness. I don't see much point in being frugal if your not around to enjoy the life is all.

Watch for my healthy fats thread, coming soon! I, too, was taught that if it hardens at room temp, it hardens in your arteries....Maybe this weekend....I have too much homework to correct right now, which I am here avoiding, and just finished correcting midterms.....eek!

I am admittedly lazy about this, but I'm doing better since the chickens came into my life - now they get all the left over bits. They recycle them for me.

There's hardly a molecule that gets wasted here! My mom taught me that! I even have a client who saves up veggie scraps for me, for my critters.....I bring a small cooler that day and bring it home, full! Anything that can't go to the critters goes on the compost pile. Nothing irritates me more than finding something gone bad in the fridge that can't be used, like a spoiled piece of meat that has to be wrapped and tossed.

I always keep some small rubber spatulas in the drawer, nice flexible ones, for scraping out the bottoms of jars of anything. You can get jars almost spotless with a good spatula. (Poor doggie, likes to lick out jars!)

Toothpaste and other tubes can be wrung out by laying them on the counter and pressing them with the back of a comb from bottom to top, then roll the empty part up tightly and secure it with a binder clip.

Or you can cut them open and scrape them out.

Thanks, Free! I hate sitting there with a spoon AND a butter knife trying to get that last little bit of jelly (or whatever)

**thinking I need to go clean out my fridge and do the jelly mix again, only using a spatula**

AHHH! The decluttering bug has spread!

Busy teaching....I am teaching a course at a chiropractor's office right now, just covered fats and cholesterol stuff, and he said he would be incorporating it into his classes in pathology this week. Guess I impressed him.....with the science.....
