My sister (aka Middle) and I had managed to get our hands on some acorn-fed (raised, not just finished) boar fat - something like half a pound of the stuff. It's been sitting in our freezer, carefully labeled. I didn't have any specific plans for it, but I was careful not to forget it. One of these days we would use it for something special (or given the quantity, several something specials), and possibly use it for a rescue for my other sister (aka Eldest; I'm the youngest of the three of us). Eldest caters on occasion, and has been known to call and ask if we have 'something special' she can make use of; this is an ingredient that would naturally sound impressive.

Friday, Middle pulled it out and rendered it down so she could make lye soap*.

I have no WORDS.

(Next time she'll know not to make anything with lye in aluminum pans. The whole thing ended in the trash.)

* She initially said candles, which confused the heck out of me.
