I found two frozen suet cakes from last year in my freezer. I also found
two pounds of sealed lard in the fridge. Would you use the lard, or should
I just chuck it?

This was just discussed in alt.cooking-chat. The upshot is that lard
keeps forever in the fridge. Look on the package. Some lard doesn'r even
need refrigeration.

I can't speak to the suet, although I have some suet-co0ntaining
minced-meat in a jar that was probably made in the 1970's and the only
reason I have not used it it that it is the last jar of the last batch
that my mother, father, and I made.

I've made 6 or 7 pie-equivalents in recent days with lard that is
probably 10 years old and the only thing wrong with them is that I have
not learned to make good fillings (well that and dumping one all over my
hand and burning the band pretty badly).

Larry,

I am beginning to think that the kitchen isn't a safe place for you.

Hope your hand heels soon.

I am fully capable of doing stupid stuff anywhere, any time.

Me too! Sooner as I can leave the bandage off, sooner I can stop
explaining what an idiot I am. (If you missed the details, it was a
study in the theory that you have to made several mistakes to really
have a disaster.)

No infections and I think it is starting to heal. One large blister
remains--sorely tempted to lance it, but every thing I have ever read
says not to--so I won't.

I keep suet cakes frozen and there is no problems that i have
noticed. The birds go after them as fast as the new ones.
The lard is OK too.
