Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

All the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipes I am looking at call for shortening. Is this normal?
I've seen a lot of cookie recipes that call for shortening. I usually substitute butter. This can affect texture and taste, however. I think it affects taste for the better, but then I think dairy fat improves many things.

I think my twin sister stiff armed an 11 year old girl to catch the bouquet at my wedding.
Her marriage lasted 7 months.

Punishingly Intricate
Shortening isn't lard, necessarily. Like Crisco is shortening and it's solid vegetable oil.
ETA is ALWAYS solid veggie oil
