Making suet

[Fotografer]

Welp.... I'm having my first go at it and I gotta tell ya - it stinks! No... literally. It stinks! I've set off the smoke detectors once (so far) and, did I mention the smell? I have two pounds of this stuff, been at it for the better part of a half hour, my eyes are burning out from the smoke and I MIGHT have 2 cups worth of liquid. Did I mention the smell?</p>

<p>~~~~ Some time later (eternity, I think)</p>

<p>I'm done. Grease spatter burns on my arms, my eyes will never be quite the same - I just know it. My dog hates me. If we had any resident bugs in the house, they've made their exit rapidly - I suppose that's a plus. I managed to get enough liquid for 4 cakes -- that's 1/2 &amp; 1/2 suet and seed. The house stinks and I'm burning scented candles but it doesn't seem to be helping. My wife is due home for lunch. She will NOT be a happy camper... might even blow breakfast as she walks through the already-open door. She might come in through one of the open windows. Not sure. In any event, all the open portals will be handy for me to make my escape.</p>

<p>Trust me -- 80 cents a cake is an absolute bargain for these things!</p>

<p>Excuse me. I have to scrape the grease that is splattered all over the stove and countertop.</p>
