ckreef Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Sounds like a tasty recipe but it's been a long time since I had anything fried other than French fries.
bryan Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 Could they be cooked in the oven also. I don't see why not but have never tried it. The old foods get a special flavor that can not be duplicated without the lard. (I'm not convinced it is that bad for me. Most of my folks lived to around 90.)
