How Suet It Is!

A major problem within city infrastructures is the sewer system and contributing to that problem is all the fat and grease that is poured down kitchen (both in houses and commercial kitchens). We became aware of the issue when watching an episode of The F Word where food critic and investigator did an expose on fat in the British sewer system. It was gross but it got Will and I thinking: we can do this!


So, after the breakfast on Saturday, we took the grease left over from the sausage and bacon, added bread crumbs, and lots of bird seed to the pan. We (and by "we", I mean Will) mixed it all together and then poured (more like scraped) it into this dish. We refrigerated it over night, to harden the fat, and then we put it on on Sunday for the birds in our yard.

We have a suet feeders already, and it is very popular with the squirrels and the nuthatches. We are hoping that they enjoy some home-made suet for a change. And for once, some grease didn't go down the drain!
