We use the Hill Country Fare soybean oil sold at HEB. It does as I expect an oil to do.

I had been thinking about this when you (Worth) were talking about using lard to cook with a while back. And I had my doubts about using it. People used lard for centuries...hundreds if not thousands of years. I was watching a Japanese cooking show the other day, and they use lard to cook with because it makes food taste better.

I've read countless things about lard, shortening, and cooking oils. Yes, I learned that I am old-school in my thinking, but the way I see things is, "New and Improved" actually means, "We cut production cost and still charge you more for less quality and quantity."

I'll bet that Hillary and Donald won't bring that up in the next debate.
