==============================
 BF>  What in the ever lovin' blue eyed world is a "sheet of pork fat?"
 ml-> Take a pig loin or belly or other cut with a substantial
 ml-> expanse of smooth fat, and take a sheet (say the dimensions
 ml-> of a steno pad, or if you are feeling flush, an A4 pad, only
 ml-> a bit thinner) off it. Easy.
 BF> I misread your line.  I read a *thin* sheet of fat, and that 
 BF> sounded like something hard to produce.

If you use loin fat, you can make thin sheets, as the fat is
firm and almost has a "grain" to it. If you use leg fat, you'd
just cut smaller pieces and overlap them to make a de facto sheet.

In any case, you can make a thin sheet out of just about any
solid fat by putting it in the freezer for a while first.

P.S. When I use the term "you," I am not speaking specifically
to you, as you are an Eat, not a Cook.

 It seemed that cutting
 BF> a *thin* sheet of fat would be a slippery, jiggly, fussy, hard 
 BF> to do action.

Sharp knives and cold temperatures. These are your friends.

P.S. When I use the term "your," I am not speaking specifically
to you, as you are an Eat, not a Cook.


 BF> P.S.   How many wine snobs do you know who have "Supper" and 
 BF> not "Dinner?"
 ml-> How many wine snobs do you know who eat Hormel HOT chili with beans?
 BF> Whooosh! That one went right over my head.  I have feeling your memory
 BF> beat my memory again.   [g]

Actually, I was referring to another post in that packet, in which
I admitted to having eaten Hormel HOT chili with beans.

 -=> Burton Ford said to Nancy Backus <=-

 BF> It is the Abyssinia.  Which is also the name of the country more 
 BF> commonly known as Ethiopia.
 BF> It's on 80 University Ave.   It's got a nice little Two Row parking 
 BF> lot in front of it.  At night it's ok to park in the spaces in front 
 BF> of the Real Estate Agent's place next door. 

And during the day, I'd bet that the real estate agent would be
chicken (ontopicizer) to have anyone towed lest s/he alientate a
potential future customer.

 BF> We'd love to hear what you think of it.  

The street access to this parking lot is excellent, as there is
a sufficiently wide opening, fairly well delineated. Turning into
the lot is quite easy. The pavement is in good order. The spaces
themselves could be wider, and there may be some difficulty for
inexperienced motorists to align their vehicles within the lines.
Backing out of the spaces was not a serious issue. As for the lines
themselves, they could use a repainting. Egress from the lot is good.

Oh.
