Festive fat:

02 December 2008

These are tree baubles with a difference. They are in fact made from lard, with bird seeds for decoration. As Anglian Water insists, this is a better way to deal with waste cooking fat than tipping it down the sink and risking blocked drains and sewers. The water company is urging its customers to collect fat in tubs and add seeds, nuts, oatmeal and dried fruit. Insert a length of string and allow fat to cool. Voila! When it is solid, turn it out of the tub and hang on a tree or put on the bird table. Sorted.

  1. hmm, lard next to hot light bulbs? Not sure that will go down too well with our H&S friends. Great pic though!

  2. H&S being very important to us, we used a tree with fibre optic lights that don't get hot. Glad you liked the pic though!
