Since you have started posting on KOS, maybe you want to put links on press when new posts are up.
Seconded!
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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.

Crisco doesn't have trans fat anymore. Still no flavor, unless you get the butter-flavor kind.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm not keen on the mouth-feel Crisco gives to baked goods.
This Thanksgiving, I'm going to try using lard in pie crusts instead. I got some of the good stuff at my farmer's market, and it's waiting in my freezer.
Speaking of pies, for those of you who like pecan pie, I made a happy discovery last year. I had less corn syrup on hand than I thought, and the store was already closed for the holiday. So, I ran through my various options (molasses = NO), and in a desperate gamble, substituted honey for half of the corn syrup. OMGYUM. The pecan pie disappeared before the pumpkin and the apple.
