Ding,ding,ding...We have a weiner! Actually, we have several weiners!
I should have known better than to try and stump all you bacon eaters here on the forum.
It is bacon grease. I was cooking my dinner and the grease is used to season the veggies- in this case, zipper peas.
As Rusty mentioned, it's something my mother and her mother did and we continue the heart healthy tradition.
Grilled chicken breast marinated in Italian dressing, zipper peas, a buttered potato, and a cholesterol pill.
The wife and I are both still working. This is a simple, quick, and satisfying meal.
I'll try to make the next one more challenging.
