Lard.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Lard:shortening::butter:margarine, though shortening is a lot better a substitute for lard than margarine is for butter.

I've always thought shortening and suet were the same thing. Is that very wrong? I know you can get vegetarian suet now, and it's increasingly difficult to get the original meat kind.

Oh, cool, crisco makes shortening without the trans fat. I feel better about making the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, now.
