My mother was born and raised in Missouri. She was not a great cook, did not use either onion or garlic but did make some things well and did use her bacon grease. I do not think it is just a Southern thing. I have lived in Florida the majority of my life and do use onion & garlic, cannot imagine cooking without them. I do not use the bacon grease very often since we use the Turkey Bacon. Wish I had kept my Mama's bacon grease tin.I remember it well. I love this blog and read it daily and have tried some of the recipes. They do remind me of growing up and my mother's cooking and my Dad's mother's cooking. Now SHE was a great mid-western cook with bacon grease, onion and you name it. She could put a meal on the table for 16 unexpected Sunday dinner guests who would just show up unannounced. Great memories......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-47873991957271379662013-06-02T21:42:43.117-05:002013-06-02T21:42:43.117-05:00I just had to laugh at the bacon drippings comment...I just had to laugh at the bacon drippings comment.

I estimate about how much I will need, pour it in a large glass measuring cup and use the "Beverage" key on the microwave to heat the milk without boiling it. If that is not enough, then hot water in small quantities is usually enough to make up the difference without affecting the results.Shari D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-55780411654411492502013-01-05T13:32:26.890-06:002013-01-05T13:32:26.890-06:00This is fabulous!

It immediately brought to mind the "Drippings Can" that I always saw sitting on the top of every good cook's stovetop! It was metal, with a semi-tight fitting lid and a strainer mechanism inside that closely resembled an old fashioned percolator, and every time bacon got fried up for breakfast, the skillet was poured right into the can. It even had a spout and handle like the percolator did to pour the strained bacon drippings right into whatever pan needed it next. Keeping it warm by keeping it on the back of the stovetop (especially gas ranges) kept the drippings in pouring consistency. <br />Can't find them nowdays though. Guess the health information about the hazzards of such practices caused enough of a drop in demand they aren't made anymore. So, I just keep mine in a glass jar (thick jar so less likely to crack) in the fridge, and dip out what I need with a fork or spoon. We don't eat much bacon these days, which makes the drippings harder to accumulate, and requires longer termed storage, but being the Southern-raised cook I am, I still use a bit to season my green beans, fried potatoes and onions and so forth. <br />Oddly enough, many years back, a very health-conscious co-worker came to work one morning wanting to know if anyone had stored bacon drippings they could spare. Seems the vet had prescribed some kind of meds for the family dog apparently which would go down easier if slathered in bacon drippings. I was the only person in the whole department with enough to spare, and I brought her a jar full the next day. Guess being in the North made that a foreign concept to all the Northern bred cooks I worked with! <br />Love your column ~ every issue is like a taste of home again!Shari D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-61505738140226767842013-01-05T13:27:13.167-06:002013-01-05T13:27:13.167-06:00I have found that using canned cream, diluted with...I have found that using canned cream, diluted with water, makes better gravey!
