Kate.... and lard? Re: Halloween here at Sharon's house

[Guest guest]

No, not bacon grease. Lard is a fat from beef and pork and is white. It is sold in plastic tubs or paper cartons here. I don't know about there in NY. The pinto beans are brown and a little speckled. I have heard pintos are not common everywhere but it is a staple here in the southwest.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

You mean like bacon grease? I don't know where you getlard from...duh! Sorry, maybe it's obvious, but I'm sortadense, you know? Are pinto beans red?I wanna make em now.hugs back atcha,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, November 1, 2010 9:17:02 PMSubject: Re: Halloween here at Sharon's house

Hi KateYes, I make my own beans. I cook pinto beans then mash them. Do you want to know the secret of excellent refried beans? You must fry them in lard, not oil or shortening. It's the only way to make authentic Mexican refried beans. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Thanks for sharing the recipe, Sharon. It sounds delish. Some of my kids like refried beans, some do not... do you make your own refried beans? What sort of beans do you use; black, kidney, small red?I like it the sweet way myself.Love, KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, November 1, 2010 3:14:10 PMSubject: Re: Halloween here at

Kate... It was a wonderful time and I am exhausted today:) It sounds like you haven't ever had Indian Fry Bread. Right? It's just what it sounds like--fried bread dough. We like to put a smear of refried beans on it. Sometimes fry bread is made into "Indian Tacos" with refried beans, lettuce, tomato and salsa on top. Other times it is just served with a little butter and honey or just a sprinkle of sugar. love SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Halloween here at Sharon's house

No holidays are celebrated in my community on Sundays here except Christmas and Easter so the grandkids went out trick-or-treating last night. The grandkids are all in a stupor today from their colored candy. Seriously in a stupor. That's because almost all of my grandkids have reactions to artificial food colors and most preservatives. But their parents make an exception on Halloween so the kids can be like all other children and have the colored Halloween candy. Tonight we are having our annual family Halloween party, complete with hay ride and s'mores around the campfire. I am make a pumpkin spice graveyard cake for the party. I hope it turns out like I want it to. My 14 year old granddaughter is in the kitchen making Halloween sugar cookies

and cupcakes. My daughter-in-law is making bread dough now to set to rise all day. We are having an assortment of snacky type food along with fry bread and beans for dinner. My daughter and her husband and 4 kids will join us late this afternoon. So today I will have all eight of my grandkids here! hugs to all of you on this very spooky day:) SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

No, I don't mean Crisco. Crisco is vegetable shortening. Ask at your grocery store for lard. I think they should have it.love SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
