Let me reveal the dark secret to Southern cooking:
1: Instead of something healty to cook with, use LARD. LOTS OF IT. If you think its too much, its not enough. Nope, STILL not enough.
2: Use some more lard.
Haha, I've watched someone eat lard straight out of the bucket. He was chugging it, too. It was so disgusting, I couldnt stop watching.
