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.
Best thing about watching Kalee role over, was proud papa's voice.
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 is pure transfat with no flavor.
Crisco doesn't have trans fat anymore. Still no flavor, unless you get the butter-flavor kind.
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.
Honey pecan pie does sound marvelous.
I'm so sick of chicken soup right now, I could just scream. So I'm heating up water for noodles. And the only question in my mind is, Kraft Mac&Cheese or angel hair pasta with stewed tomatoes.
Aw, shucks.
That was me, pretending not to be ideological, although really if I wanted to do that, there are a billion people to tag ahead of Rahm Emanuel.
Thanks.
Crisco doesn't have trans fat anymore.
Huh - I wonder how that works when it's all still hydrogenated vegetable oils? (Not disagreeing, just curious about the chemistry.)

No clue how it works, but that's what the label says.
I put the link up in Press...
Well, I can either have loyal readers or a secret life. For now, I pick readers.
