I just downgraded my netflix to 1 movie at a time. I should have done that a long time ago.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So where does tallow fit in?
Suet, IIRC, specifically refers to the fat that sits on top of the cow's kidneys. Tallow comes from somewhere else, but I'd have to Google to find out where.
[edit -- okay, Google tells me that tallow is clarified suet.]
(Defining tallow vs suet killed the thread? Y'all are tougher than that!)
Shortening is supposed to make flakier pie crusts, but IME the trade-off in taste (from using butter) isn't worth it. I'd guess it's the same with cookies, so I'd only want to use it in cookies that had pretty strong flavors. Plus the butter is really much better for you. And not, you know, gross.
I am just crashing over here.
Quick! Eat an orange!
My car won't start. I am near, but not AT work. There are no dealerships near here. My onsite work day may be done.
That sucks ita.
I already had my 2 fruit servings today. I will go home soon and have yummy fish.

Other way around, actually -- butter-->flaky, shortening-->tender. An all-butter crust will taste phenomenal, but will be almost too flaky to handle. (This is why lard is God's Gift To Baking, since it provides tenderness and flavor.)
