Did you know that in 28 days, football season will be upon us? Glory, hallelujah, amen! Carolina will play their first game of the 2011 season against East Carolina at 7:00 p.m. This has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the post, mind you.
Anyhow, we wanted sliders for dinner the other night, but we didn't have any sides thought up. Y'all know I love Fresh Market, so I picked up their paper of weekly specials. I didn't realize they have recipe suggestions, so when I saw potatoes pan-fried in duck fat I was sold. I've secretly been itching to have a reason to buy the duck fat they sell. I know, it might sound gross, but it's really no different than having bacon grease hanging around. And if you're skeptical about bacon grease, I really can't help you.
