Thank goodness he did not turn this great skill into a power to be used in the Dark Arts.

Nothing makes me want to buy meat like a sculpture of pig fat...

"Lasting and Transferable" pork fat decorations?! Did anyone click through to look at the pamphlet? I'm reading it now. The author made a model cathedral out of fat, which then "petrified," and was still in existence at the date of publication. After I enrich myself with personal knowledge, I'm going to make a bacon rosette wreath for the foyer.
Quick, someone call Martha.
