Erika, you really are great. Don't know what to do about you thinking otherwise. Have my own self-esteem issues so not really qualified to give other's advice on theirs. OK, well one bit of advice. Since you have started posting on KOS, maybe you want to put links on press when new posts are up.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyone know how long fresh pumpkin puree keeps in the fridge? I have some to use up. I don't know whether to make pumpkin soup or cheesecake.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If a bread recipe calls for "vegetable shortening or lard" is Crisco a good choice?

Yep.
I had a productive day today. I edited my article and sent it to my advisor with a note that I'm putting it up on arxiv next Thursday and I'd appreciate any comments he has before that, I edited my teaching statement some (thanks for the read-through, Seska!), and I wrote four more cover letters.

Crisco is vegetable shortening.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'd go with lard myself, unless I were cooking for vegetarians (and even then I'd use butter if it were at all possible). Crisco is pure transfat with no flavor.

That does sound like a productive day, Hil.
Huh. Doxycycline Hyclate capsules are very blue.
Oh, yeah. I have bronchitis. The doctor was suitably impressed at my home remedy for the cough, which was to add hot sauce to every thing I've eaten (except for Szechuan pork and peanut butter toast). It was much more effective than the MucinexDM. Well, ok, there may also have been a skosh of whiskey in some of the things I've drunk, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I grew up with Crisco and, as much as I love butter, in some things it just tastes wrong because that's not how Mom made it. I should remember to try goose fat for those, it's very Crisco-like in appearance and smell.
