Elizabeth...In response to your comments regarding the use of fats in todays kitchens, I totally agree that the fats are not nurned off as easily because of the less physically demanding work that we do today.

Also, aboutthe oil can with the strainer that you were referring to, my MIL owns one that she bought at a yard sale. She said that her mother had one like it.

I would love to get one for myself since I do reuse the oil from fried chicken and french fries.

I also enjoyed the chapter on soups. Reading it has led me to stop throwing away the last few tablespoons of leftover gravys and mashed potatoes. I have began saving them in the freezer to add to soups and as gravy thickeners.

Thank you for sharing.
