Welcome!
Howdy, and thanks for stopping by my little corner of the World Wide Web! Pull up a chair and stay a spell. Everything here is typed by hand, one tag at a time, and updated whenever the mood strikes. You will find tried-and-true family suppers, big pots of soup, from-scratch sauces, and the occasional experiment that turned out better than it had any right to — all cooked in butter, tallow, and lard, never a drop of seed oil. Bookmark this page and check back often — there is always something new coming out of the oven.
