Leftovers...and remembering a childhood favorite

I was attending a holiday event and the leftovers were being taken care of.


"Anybody want to take the leftover prime rib ?"


(IT was very fatty and not going to be saved,was going to be tossed)


My LCHF brain was jumping up and down for joy...TOO MUCH FAT???


I don't think so...and home I went  with the treasure...


Today I garlic buttered the cast iron skillet and fried the booty up.


The fried fat was just the ticket.!


As my mother had done I added water to the pan to get the drippings to make


a forgotten food ..the unflowered "gravy" she used to make.


So..as I was eating and dipping the meat into this ...I remembered as a child..


The memories of food that I thought was DELICIOUS...these were high fat!


Lettuce sandwiches were actually me getting mayonnaise,


The picking of the ham bits during Holidays was seeking the burnt fat bits,


Chicken BBQ was a quest for the crispy skin mostly.


I was scraping the pan to make "MOM'S GRAVY"...


I think my body has been craving the fat forever...and got side-tracked by carb addiction.


It is :FOOD for THOUGHT............and My leftover lunch was satisfying and delicious!
