Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Shortening is a solidified fat at RT. Crisco is a vegetable shortening. Often times margarine or butter can be substituted but it would depend on the recipe.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I've been avoiding shortening because I assume it is a hydrogenated fat, which I try to avoid. True? Or am I, once again, making up a fact in the absence of knowledge? :-) I don't even use Crisco to make soap, though lots of people do. For cooking, I stick with butter, but if I were vegan, I'd use the non-hydrogenated margarines that are now available (like Earth Balance).

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 No, my dh and kiddos won't touch it and my mother is the only other one in my immediate family that will eat it. When I lived in Minnesota it was plentiful, but now that I live in Texas, when we get it, it is very expensive and there is only a couple wek time frame to get it. I have not heard of anyone here growing it here, though there could be. The one time I did buy some in the store it wasn't like the rhubarb taste back home. We have a reunion coming up soon, and if I can make it back, I plan to bring as much back as I possibly can. My aunt still has my grandmother's rhubarb in her garden, and it has always been a great tasting one. Every once in a while we can buy a strawberry - rhubarb pie, but to me it's not the same. I am actually wanting to move back to Minnesota, but the only way I could is over hubby's dead body --- he'd never move there ....... so I guess for now I am stuck in Texas ........

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 When substituting margarine, make sure it is the wrapped quarter pound type that says good for baking. The other will not measure right nor act right in baking.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 LOL.. that's funny..... it's what my best friend says too..... she doesn't like him but tolerates him since he's my hubby ...... we joke about it, but for the most hubby is a good guy and I think when we got to retirement age, he would move to Minnesota with me if it was the one thing in life that would make me happy, toher than him and my kiddos. I know he wouldn't now.... he's just too concerned about his living siblings. 2 of his 3 brothers passed away in the last 6 months and 1 of his 2 sisters have passed in the last year and a half. But to go back to the country that I could get all the rhubarb and TAB I could get would be like Heaven to me!!!!! Wanda PuterWitch <puterwitch wrote: ya know ..........
