Olive, they're navy beans - white. NOT brown. DAMN good.

Tami, never goes bad unless you keep it out on the stove as my grandmother did - kept it liquid. But she went THROUGH it like Grant took Richmond.

I sometimes pitch the jar. Because... Well... Cat fur flew, too much onion...

Yes. You put in bacon grease where you've cooked onions, eggs, whatever. If too much egg, well... After awhile maybe you should pitch.

I have NEVER in all my years of doing the comfort of bacon grease (whether my Gram's or mine) ever gotten sick.

But the thing is, I store up more than I can use and so - besides worrying about FLYING FUR - just pitch. Because I keep it all: flavored with Penzy's paprika, their garlic, their different spice combos; plain old onions; with butter... I keep it all.

It ssssssoooooo adds flavor to different things you're cooking.
