The recipes all make it sound trivial but it is in fact extremely hard to get right. If you want to try something truly scary, try making microwave meringues.

I'm not sure where you could get it on a lark; it's such a kerfuffle to make, and so few butchers render their own any more. You could try using duck fat too. That's just as good, perhaps even better, and much easier to find on short or no notice.

Beautiful. Where did you find your leaf lard? I had to special order it at the farmer's market last time, and would love to know where I could get it on a lark. Bravo! Beautiful.

Very nice! And tell me about those nasty bad eggs!! I made this almond torte (http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/best-almond-torte) for a friend's birthday (very yummy, by the way) and was punished for my irreverent attitude towards the golden rule of egg separating: never put them all in the same bowl!! I had to stop the whole thing and go get another dozen eggs... Wow! Very nice!
