someone needs more work to do.
anyhoo, I've cooked with shortening my whole life. less now than I used to , but it is what I use in pie crust and some cookies.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Lard.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What is shortening?
Crisco, not lard.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think of shortening as lard, but I think that's wrong.
At Kat n' lori's wedding, I think Kat tossed the bouquet, but I can't remember because Too Much Champagne and Too Much Buttercream Frosting made me pass out in a drunken sugar coma for 12 hours.
We did have a Gay Wedding Tree decorated with pink flamingos, though. I think that's the best beginning of a tradition, ever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As other people have said, shortening is not lard.
OK, this site [link] says it's anything that shortens your dough, but what people in the US mean when they say it is vegetable shortening.
