All that food looks good. We never eat out anymore. Haven’t done that but once in 3 years. That was when DH’s cousin came in from Florida and we all got together for a seafood dinner. DH is now on a very restricted no salt diet. Plus we are both diabetic. So we cook at home. It was one of the reasons I started back canning again as much as possible because I don’t use salt in anything I can or cook. Used to be when they had a sell on canned goods in the stores the no salt cans were excluded. I think so many people complained about it they now include no salt canned veggies in the sales.
And I do love to use lard verses oil or crisco. It last a lot longer and food seems to taste much better using it. Though I quit frying foods a long time ago. I do have an air fryer though. That works out great when we have a taste for something fried.
I think it is great to be learning all the old ways of cooking cheap. I have a feeling we will all be benifiting from learning how to make cheap cuts of meat tender and how to use a lot of spices.
Crowbar, now you’ve got me wanting to go make a loaf of bread. Guess I will have to settle for biscuts in the morning.
