Remember When

Do you remember saving bacon grease?

I think every kitchen had a container in the fridg or maybe even on the stove that was used to save bacon grease. Of course bacon was a major breakfast staple and bacon always presented plenty of grease. This was usually kept for frying potatoes or maybe chicken for other meals. I think that bacon grease may have been used for making soap, but then that was before my day, but I do remember being told by persons now deceased that they recalled persons visiting the local café to see if they could get the old grease used for cooking French fries for laundry purposes. Yes even I find that hard to comprehend, Grease for doing Laundry!! But then I don’t want to think about using a scrub board for doing my laundry either. Speaking if scrub boards were you aware that these came either in glass or metal.
