Meg & Jordan's Incredible Inedible Lard Adventure

This weekend, Meghan Kelly celebrated her 26th birthday by serving a meal at the Salvation Army downtown. We had an incredible time dicing tomatoes, cooking beans, managing the serving line, and washing dishes. One of the unspoken duties was to empty the remnants of the fried beef into the "inedible oil bin". Now this was not just clean, clear oil. This was the thick muck that forms the base of the grease that houses the lard that traps the fly and "I don't know why..."---- you know the rest. Needless to say, this was not a pretty job. With three full buckets and one large metal bin, we (Meg and Jordan) transported this lard into the bin actually designated with written plaque: "inedible cooking oil". Enjoy the pictures of our experience...




Gave us a whole new appreciation for the Lunch Lady...




Mmm MMMM Mmmm Mmmmm ... Tasted like chicken - Get in my belly!




The inner bowels of the "inedible cooking oil" container...quite literally took our breath away.
