Best thing about watching Kalee role over, was proud papa's voice.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

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 is pure transfat with no flavor.
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.

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.
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.

Aha - apparently fully hydrogenated oils don't have trans-fats (only partially hydrogenated ones do). Cool beans:
