"Using lard on new black powder barrels will burn in and create a non stick coating inside the barrel. Lard is what was used before bore butter and sports stores. Lard treats the barrel just as lard treats a cast iron skillet, creating a non stick coating. I've done this to all my muzzeloaders and they all have the smooth barrel they came with when I bought them 10-20 years ago. Bore butter works great, so does lard, it's cheap and you get so much more for your money and it has no odor."

Yo Cosimono,
is there end to your skill and encyclic knowledge of all things?
Spud was looking for something to lubricate the barrel of his human firing canon.
Now we have the answer.

Naturally we have you down as the first volunteer.A quick rub down will ensure that you leave the barrel faster than you entered it. Included at no extra costs will be the use Spud's patent ramrod,parachute and drain purger.

Under our usual conditions earplugs will be issued, as we don't want to enjoy your
screams of delight.

Is there any particular orbit you'd like,
we thought of aiming you at planet RECOVERY ?

Well the Militia turned out and rounded up the ring leaders and we have them swinging nicely from the battlements of the West wing.

The rest of the peasantry are working on long acre field turning it over nicely. Apart from a rent rise for the whole lot of them and a couple of firkins of ale for the troops all is well and I'm in pocket. Of course I've cancelled Xmas for the peasants.

Off to the billiard room for a few games with the Under house Parlour maid.

with you knees! you will need roller skates to keep up!

as regards the peasantry, say you have reconsidered xmas is back on if they do overtime up to the 24th to make up for it; then cancel it again on your way back from midnight mass, just say because of the current economic climate and the massive pensions being paid to the public sector you cant help it.
it works for my boss.

i am afraid i can not accept your kind offer to have a go in the human cannonball thingy as i am booked in for a very important eye test, my netcurtans need putting back up and i am sane.


Lard as Lube?
« H E » Amber's Entries :: Beaver Pond Better Business Bureau :: Amber LeMay :: email posted Thursday, 14 May 2009

Hank over at the Beaver Pond Pork By-Products Processing Plant (BPPBPP) is kicking himself. For years he's known that the lard he sells has been used by some for purposes other than cooking. Let's just say that some use it for household situations where things aren't sliding as well as they should, or there are squeaks and creaks that need tended to. And others have found that their love of pork products can be combined with the love of their partner, again tending to things that maybe need some assistance in sliding - if you know what I mean*.

Well, someone has taken that love of pork-loving people and has marketed it... it's called BaconLube. What started out as as an April Fool's joke/promotion has turned into a legitimate product to be on the market soon. J&D's Bacon Salt ("Everything should taste like bacon"), whom also produced the Jon Stewart/Daily Show spoofed Baconnaise, says it should be on the market soon.

If you have any pork-related ideas, please send them to Hank.

gosh i am so glad i am forsworn pork! or this add would pop in my head every time i bit in to a bacon sandwich.

i did the 30mile loop today, it did not seem to get full day light all day, all the drivers behaved them selves , while sat at a red light a car recovery driver pulled along side, "my god you cant half make that thing shift!*" he said "i cheat, i replied i practice".
*he had been behind me as i hit the top of a 40mph decent, if i can hit the roundabout just right at the bottom i can carry a lot of momentum for the next mile over a small hill, i just dropped on to the back end of a van after the roundabout and drafted him until i got to the lights .

having inspected my front tyres today; when powering through some of my fast turns out rigging i can still get a slight lift on the inside wheel coursing scrubbing on the outside tyre, you can see the marks running diagonally across the tyre .
do i take it easy? or carry on and stock up on tyres? or contact one of the tyre manufactures and offer my services as a real world tester?

That would cause a revolution and only an idiot would do that to his domain... Like the government are doing at the moment... Ah!

Are you going to tell Dave, or shall I????

i have been fine tuning again and the bearings have loosened up nicely, on one of the reasonably flat parts of my ride the wind was blowing directly head on, i pasted two roadys like they stood still they where really struggling

all i need now is a velomobile body to put on it, i will paint it red as the "lady's love a red sports vehicle driven by a SBGG" i will have to use a two seater kids trailer for aforementioned lady to ride in with a hot water bottle for her comfort.
of course if i hitched another trike to the back an asked the lazy cow to peddle we might get some performance out of the rig.

Mr byegad as a GMB rep i must inform you a section 43b is in the post "declaration of union recognition" as 43% of your minions have joined up, i am willing to open first stage negotiations on terms and conditions of you peasantry.
also a a class one grievance on three counts of sexual harassment.


the day of the xray and 2minit 33second chat with the sawbones is rapidly approaching, will i have to have em out or not will he recommend intensive therapy on a Caribbean island?



lard sight of the day is http://www.lardcar.com/

If you are sent to a Caribbean Island, I think you will need my assistance as your assistant.

I am good at relaxing on a beach while you cycle up and down the promenade. After preparing a light lunch for you, I could read by the pool while you have a not stand up. Upon your return from a gentle pootle up the nearest mountain, I would ensure you knew which restaurant would most best fit your preferences. I am most excellent at conversation at dinner.

It is to be further noted that I do not take nineteen pairs of shoes with me on holiday. Nor do I spend three hours in front of a mirror while you risk malnutrition and hunger pangs.

If you really wanted to, I expect Byegad could accompany us.

 

[markg0vbr]

i dont think he would come the sun shine would not agree with him and he has civil unrest to deal with at home
cant imagine how all that started.

you forgot sunbeds baggsying the towel wars, food tester "in my delicate state i could not cope with Delhi Belly"

 

[Speicher]

I have puzzlement as to how you would get Delhi Belly from carry bean food.

Come round here with your Communist ideas and I'll set the dogs on you, burn your chariot and throw the remains in the Oubliette. There will be plenty of company for you as Grandfather threw people down there on a regular basis. Don't worry you'll be fed, we throw a mouldy loaf down there every quarter day!

Meanwhile peace is re-established and the peasantry are turning out this morning for our local hunt. Since the Communists under Blair banned fox hunting we have reverted to hunting a lucky peasant. It's expensive having to give the peasant a Half Sovereign if he lives and his widow and children a Groat each if he gets caught, but the rest of the Gentry chip in. The Wolf Hounds love it too. The last hunt was fun as the peasant tried to climb a tree to escape, o we had a shoot instead!

Last night on my ride I noticed a humming noise; eventually the noise was isolated to the left wheel.

On closer inspection the brake calliper was loose the noise was a pad just brushing the disc, tightening this up made a bit of difference to performance.

On the flat and down slight gradients I think the car drivers have no idea how fast I am going, quite often now I have cars pulling up along side and realising they are not going to pass me before hitting a oncoming car, pedestrian island, roundabout ect; well I am willing to believe this and are just not belligerent.

I have been suffering a bit of tyre slip at the rear on some of the hills coved in leaf mulch, so a extensive program of deforestation is in the planning stage, of winter tyres with a tiny bit of tread, if I cant get a eu grant to chop the trees down.



I have worked up quite a snappy presentation on how a trip to the Caribbean would hasten my recovery with lots of bar charts and pie graphs.

I look forward to this presentation. Do you know how to make best use of the Menus on PowerPoint? Do not make the mistake of thinking that this is a piece of cake!

It is probably a bit late for you to start, but can I suggest a sandwich course on the subject of Presentation? Then you would really take the biscuit.

 

[byegad]

A bar, pie, sandwich and biscuit?

Careful young Cosmo you will end up climbing hills as slowly as me if you eat all that!

As regards your recuperative holiday I can recommend a free cottage in the country. No charges at all and even a small stipend for using it. Of course you will be expected to do a little light work on the garden, re-point the chimney and clear a small forest of scrub in exchange for free food, as much as you can gather or kill, except the Deer which are reserved for Her Majesty to hunt when she comes to stay at the big house. One has unexpectedly* come vacant on the Estate following the hunt. I'll even throw in a free housekeeper as his widow will need to earn a crust, I leave her wages to your discretion!


*I always thought Smithers could run faster than that! I was wrong.

How to Make Your Own Lard
By Zarela Martinez

Published December 10, 2010

Praise the lard! You heard right. Lard is not the villain it’s been made out to be. But there is a catch: It has to be home-rendered. Commercial lard is what has given this flavorful fat its bad name. In order to make the product solid, the molecules have to be filled or saturated—and that is the type of fat we need to avoid for health reasons. Home-rendered lard is 2/3 unsaturated and contains oleic acid, the same ingredient that in olive oil helps break down cholesterol.

Lard was the most popular fat until the 1950s, when scientists discovered that animal fats could lead to heart disease. But they did not know the whole story. The products that replaced lard in the kitchen—like margarines and vegetable shortenings—would have problems of their own, namely artery-clogging trans fats and hydrogenated fats.

Today, lard has made a come-back. Professional chefs like Mario Batali even put it on the table or on his menus as lardo and it is again very trendy.

Best of all, it is very easy to make: Buy unsalted pork fat from your butcher and put in the freezer for a few minutes to harden. Place in a heavy Dutch oven or deep frying pan and either cook it in the oven at 300 until nicely melted or do it on top of the stove where you can watch it.
