ScalziI have returned from my wife's family's annual reunion and I am full of every possible chicken dish, banana pudding with Nilla wafers, and lard cake, which I assure you is far better than it sounds.
Philip Weiss (Phil in SF)@scalzi Lard cake ≠ cake of lard
BoomerNerd 🇺🇸🛰️🏳️🌈💾😺@scalzi Mmmmmm...lard cake.
Jonathan Polley@scalzi Lard is good for you. This message brought to you by The Lard Council™️

My grandma taught me to make pie crust with lard. I make maybe two pies a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas, so it won't kill me right away, and, damn, it's flaky. (Well, 3, but the lemon meringue for Easter has graham cracker crust.)

Moose Jolly Holcomb@scalzi I could absolutely go for some banana pudding.
raphael@scalzi that sounds like a sunday spent spectacularly well.
(and zero doubt on lard cake – an old guy in the village here (.de) used to bake his cheesecake with lard, and it was the best cheesecake ever)
Derik@scalzi Oh, I love me some banana pudding. Growing up in eastern Ohio, we’d have ham loaf for special dinners. So good… mmmmmm….
your_huckleberry@scalzi could it maybe have been buttermilk pie?
Jef Poskanzer@scalzi In California we have a town named Lard! Well, Manteca.
@jef I drove past it on the 99 whenever I went to Sacramento!
Lydia Schoch@scalzi is your wife from the Midwest, by any chance? That sounds so much like the food I grew up eating at potlucks. 🥘
@lydiaschoch We're in Ohio so this checks out
ningunx@scalzi the power of lard...
Wayne Dixon@scalzi so you’re going to sleep for the next 34 hours?
@waynedixon Chances are high
The Steel RatI look forward to the horrid Burrito picture you will inflict on us that contains leftovers from your gluttonous feasting
no not really
John Overholt@scalzi My native St. Louis has a gooey butter cake that is also better than it … no, wait, that sounds amazing too.
misterprotocol@scalzi I have a recipe for “Jenny’s Cookies” from a great-great aunt or something that starts with a large amount of lard. Made ‘em once. They were delicious!
Brian Clark@scalzi I have t had banana pudding with Nilla wafers in forever. Time to go shopping!
Cary@scalzi haven't had a nanner/nilla dish in ages... I need a midwest summer fete STAT
