There are those of us who use canned soup, generic even, not always
Campbells, in their cooking while there are those who shudder at the mere
mention of it.
There are those who use Crisco and LIKE to use it in their cooking (we won't
even go to what other uses there are for it) and those who feel that they
are killing themselves by using it. The same with butter and margarine.
Guess what, there are those of us with all sorts of health concerns, my
cholesterol is high (an inherited trait) and I am a diabetic. One diet I
was given I was told to go high carb low protein, the other high protein and
low carb. Guess what, crucifierous vegetables affect my colitis.......so
what is my option? The air diet......take deep breaths until I die of
starvation. I try to moderate what I eat, but hey, like everyone else, I
have my problems with it......
Based on the recent diatribes on here, should I pull up my soap crate, climb
on board and tell all and sundry MY diet is best. Yeah, right, I'll start
ducking the flying fruit now. If it works for you, more power to you. If
asked about your dietary choices, answer, but don't shove it down my
throat......I happen to like deep fried chicken livers cooked in Crisco,
okay. I like them, don't eat them regularly though.
Get over yourselves and make this a better new year for the rest of us.
Thank you.

I have brought the "kitchen" upstairs to my computer, especially during

You do realize that Rodney King is a total loser?
"He was arrested again for spousal assault in 1999. In 2001, he was
then ordered to undergo a year of drug treatment after pleading guilty
to three counts of being under the influence of PCP and one of
indecent exposure.
On August 27, 2003, he was arrested again on similar charges as in
1991. It is alleged that King was speeding, ran a red light while
under the influence of alcohol and failed to yield to police officers,
and then slamming his SUV into a house and breaking his pelvis."

Hydrogenated shortening is indefensible. when you buy it, it's just
as bad as buying a bag of weed from a guy who you KNOW sells crack to
grade school kids. The companies who make it are as bad as the folks
who push tobacco.
Do you think that the execs of the companies who make that crap eat
it? I doubt it. Shit, they KNOW better.
> The same with butter and margarine.
There are margarines these days that are safe, even safer than
butter. Problem is, there are too many stupid folks out there who
don't have enough brains to tell the difference.
> I happen to like deep fried chicken livers cooked in Crisco,

What is it about the Crisco? Why do you even keep something in your
pantry that is being banned by state legislatures? It's like lead in
paint. There's no excuse.
>

Maybe it'd be a better year if mindless little Girl Scouts didn't
peddle death.
Maybe it'll be better for millions of kids who aren't served chicken
nuggets soaked in Crisco-type shortening, though their real better
year will be decades in the future when they don't need coronary
artery surgery. Defending Crisco in 2008 is as dumb as denying global
climate change was a few years ago.

If they wanted to get him, they easily could. Makes you wonder why
they don't seem to in the least mind what is being written about
MI-5. Hmmm?

Divided We Fall
A crumpled application
You won't hire me 'cause I'm white
I'm someone too
I'm just like you
Regular people, white
Chorus:
And we fall
Divided we fall
And we fall
Divided we fall
(Chorus)
I'm someone too
I'm just like you
I need a job
My kids need food
I'm someone too, and
Just like you
I'm a man
(Chorus)
We wake, we work
We sleep, we die
We vote, and hey
We learn to lie
We vote, we pray
Our kids aren't gay
I hope, I pray
My kids aren't gay
And if you listen closely,
You can hear
The laughter of the rich
They like it when we call each other
Nigger, fag and bitch

God must like you
You get your due
We wake, we work
We sleep, we die
We vote, and hey
We've seen your lies
We're men, we're not
We're black, we're white
We're straight, we're gay
And now I say,
"We're not like you"
Dust to Dust
You thought, you could cut the worker's pay
And take, all our benefits away
But these machines, they were made by workers' hands
Dust to dust
We don't ask, we demand
Sabocat is on the prowl tonight
Kitty cat has found the claws to fight
You thought, you could do just as you pleased
And drive, the union to its knees
But your wealth, it was made by workers' hands
Dust to dust
We don't ask, we demand
You laughed, at their chants and labor songs
You'll beg for mercy when they're there inside your
homes
'Cause all you own, it was made by workers' hands
Dust to dust
We don't ask, we demand
Sabocat is on the prowl tonight
Kitty cat is ready for the fight
Fight!
Class
Chorus
Here in America, we've got class
Don'tchya ever let 'em tell ya

My dream, that every worker

Here in America, we've got class
Middle class again made the news
And they wantchya to think
That's me and you
But when I look around, I see just two
The ones who own
And the ones who do

Happy darkie just lost his smile
He ain't gonna help
Assuage your guilt
You're gonna have to face the fact
That there's a rat
In the house Jack built

Middle class again made the news
And they wantchya to think
That's me and you

Bryan, if I wanted to eat white arsenic to keep my complexion clear,
it's none of your business. If a million people wanted to do it,
they'd
do it no matter how much you railed against it here on r.f.c.
Sorry, Virginia, I knew your attempt to prevent a flame war would
start one.
"Why can't we all just get along?" Because we're human beings. Not
getting along is pretty much what we do. The Crisco tribe has always
been at war with the Lard tribe, and they will always be at war with
them.

Butter and lard fall into one camp, Crisco and most margarines into
the other. True, there are healthy margarines made these days.
They're a bit lacking aesthetically, but otherwise OK.

That's because you don't listen to scientific evidence.

Would this be the same "evidence" that said we'd all curl up and die if
we ate more than two eggs a week? One can make "evidence" say anything
they want if they are bent to do so. Theories change frequently enough
that "moderation" is the only sane advice I trust. Old wives may say it
too because they're old enough to realize the sense of it since they're
living it.
You do realize that Crisco doesn't even contain Trans Fats anymore,
right? I could count on one hand the times I use shortening in a year.
I'm convinced that such occasional use is not going to make a difference
in my total health.
Did you think your steaks were grown in something like a vege patch?

Hey, I like this image! Lounging chickens...happy cows...bring me some

And ignorant. Of course moderation, over indulging in fats of any
type is unhealthful. And hydrogenated vegetable shortening is more
healthful than any animal fats... the same people deriding Crisco are
the ones who post recipes with pounds of butter, quarts of cream,
barrels of cheese, and eggs up the kazoo. Crisco has always been a
leader with modern trends/science.

Not being from the USA, it's understandable that you take this the
wrong way.
I wish I knew where the footnoted version is. V1 refers to a US Senate
race where the Republican, well here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=KIyewCdXMzk
I shift perspective during the song. The racist, sexist, homophobic
presentaions of the verses are punctuated by the refrains, "And we
fall..."
The crescendos do the line, "And if you listen closely..." the point
of the song being that working class unity is eroded by those "isms,"
much to the benefit of the economic elite.
The return from the bridge, "God must like you..." is a reference to
Calvinian predestination, and it's relevance to political economy as
described by Max Weber:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protestant_Ethic_and_the_Spirit_of_Capitalism
The line is said cynically, and followed by lines such as:
We've seen your lies
We're men, we're not
We're black, we're white
We're straight, we're gay
And now I say,
"We're not like you"
The realization that economic class unites workers, and that we choose
not to be working class chumps.

I have a 1lb container of Crisco in my fridge, now just 1/3 full (even
has the price label still stuck to the plastic lid $1.79), but the
date I have magic markered on the lid and also on the bottom of the
container to indicate the first use is "Feb. 02". About all I use
Crisco for is to grease muffin tins/cake-bread pans, a very thin coat
with a paint brush I have just for that purpose, no other shortening
works as well. I seriously doubt 2 ounces of Crisco spread out over a
year will have any health affect one way or another... especially
since just yesterday I polished off about 1/3lb of smoked gouda in one
fell swoop, how gooda was that. And how many of yoose eat peanut
butter, and don't yoose lie that you eat only the natural kind, and
only the 2 Tbls serving, yeah, right. Last week 18 ounce jars of
Peter Pan peanut butter were on sale for $1, I bought my first jar of
peanut butter in more than five years... how many are going to tell me
they don't eat peanut butter from the jar with a spoon, and once begun
it's near impossible to stop... I was strong, only ate about 1/4 the
jar... and I had totally forgotten I had it, until just now. Be right
back... Ingredients: Roasted peanuts, Sugar, Partially _Hydrogenated_
Vegetable Oils (cottonseed, rapeseed), Salt.
Yes, between typing another four heaping spoonfuls got sucked down.
And there's another good topic for the RFC Survey..
Do you keep PB in the larder regularly?
Do you keep PB in the pantry or fridge
How much do you consume in say 1 year; 1 pound, 5 pounds, 10 pounds,
more?
Which type (smooth/chunky/natural/all of the above).
Which brand is your regular; Jif, Peter Pan, Skippy, Smuckers, store
brand, other?
Do you eat PB from the jar... if so do you leave a thin coating inside
so no one realizes the jar is essentially empty... how expert are
you... I no longer bother but when I was a kid my younger brother was
disappointed a lot... I could leave the thiness of a condom! hehe

Hmm, you're not privy to most folk's home cooking. There's nothing

I consider it 'sinful' and 'unnatural' to try to shove your belief system
down my throat. Get me mad enough and I will cover it with Crisco (normally
I would do it viciously and dry, but since Crisco sets him off so badly)
and plant your belief system right up there.
Bobo believes Crisco will kill us in the end. As long as he doesn't have to
pay for our medical bills or contribute to our 'planting' (hey, even when
solicited online you can say no) what's it to him.
Let's see, I am channelling my spirit guide now, he tells me that by the end
of 2008 Bobo will die by Crisco poisoning........someone will hunt him down
and cover him with it.......he will smother.......it will be a horrid
affair.........His body will be found behind a low rent pizza shop on a hot
summer day, as the sun rises overhead, the Crisco melts off and runs in the
gutter, the neighbors don't notice as they are used to grease running out of
the back of the shop. The police are stymied as the Crisco was the key to
'whodunnit' and the evidence melted away.....all that was left was a body in
an alley starting to stink and draw flies and the people on r.f.c.....going
'has anyone hear from Bobo lately?'

Pretty strong, considering you started this thread by asking, 'can't
we all just get along?' He can post whatever he believes: it's up to
you to decide to get mad.
Personally, I don't see the harm in people posting their favorite
diets, their favorite food and health issues/fads as well as their
favorite recipes and kitchen tools. It's all grist for the mill,
doesn't mean we're not 'getting along,' just means people have
different ideas. I can as easily ignore Bobo's Crisco rants as I
can the Atkins posts and the low carb posts and the canned soup
recipes and whatever else is irrelevant to my own particular
interests. Reading rfc has become a treasure hunt, searching through
all the spam and personalities to find what interests me (i.e., food
and cooking).
What I do find annoying are the humorless folks who constantly fail to
notice that what they're enraged at at the moment was obviously meant
as a joke. Experience in this group seems to show there's no cure for
the affliction, so that's just another category of posts to
ignore. -aem
Not so. I'm just tired of the 'I'm right - your wrong' crowd and asked a
question, why in thunder can't we 'just get along' and 'agree to disagree'
about somethings.

Sorta (snicker). There are a few things it's good for, like one portion of
the cheese, in a mac-n-cheese recipe
OK, so Happy New Year. Freak. :)
My husband does - every morning. He plays solitaire. I don't get it.

He is one of a kind. A stellar Baltimoron if there ever was one.
so, killfile me. you wouldn't be the first and probably not the last. I
asked why on the food discussions we couldn't get along. I didn't say we
had to 'honorably' sit by and allow insults to another persons lifestyle to
be accepted as fact.

Sorry to piggyback, but I don't see the original message. Regarding the
MI5 guy, here are some tips I've seen in other newsgroups. They help
depending on the particular newsreader. My news service is apparently
killing them at the source, so it hasn't been a problem lately.

I've /finally/ figured out a martini that I like. I've tried them before
and they were too much like just a cold glass of gin. Ice makes it
worse. Adding a little more dry vermouth doesn't help much. Then I
tried using 1/2 ounce of *sweet* vermouth plus 1/2 ounce of dry vermouth
with about 4 ounces of chilled Booth's gin (90 proof.) Bingo. That's
what it needed; more vermouth and a tiny bit of sweetness.
