Not the partially hydrogenated blocks at HEB, but real, fresh lard.

I am making Chicken and Biscuits as soon as we get our first cold snap (which I always start dreaming about in August, LOL).

Sounds pretty easy to make yourself. Just takes time and an allowance to have a bacon flavored house for a while.

Nah, it takes too long. We eat bacon on Sundays and we render the fat from it. It's August and we haven't even filled a peanut can yet. Maybe we should eat more bacon?

It really doesn't take too long, but it will if you're using bacon. Use back fat instead (available at plenty of butchers), slowly render it out, and strain through a fine mesh.

Most of the Mexican meat markets will have it. But I'd recommend Bolner's on S. Flores, just south of downtown. Great butcher shop and great people.
