fats

Lard

• Large fat crystals make flakier pastry (cite earlier pie crust recipe, give a biscuit recipe)
• Doesn't smoke at high temp
• 20% less saturated fat than butter
• Don't use hydrogenated lard (give list of brands)
• hydrogenation/trans fats
• 1.75 cups makes crusts for 2 pies. Cut each pie into 8 slices, and there is 5.25 tsp lard in each slice. Cut the pie into 6 slices, and there is 7.2 tsp of lard in each slice.

Shortening

• hydrogenated
• vegetable, "creamed" (animal tallow)

mendelsohn's lasagna

No ricotta, lots of mozzarella on top, none in layers. Sauce is moderately spicy, but SWEET as candy - shit ton of sugar in this. Kosher. Sweet enough that it gives my diabetes a boner.

Umpqua Oats

Kick Start - rich with seed, very nutty flavor, oats not too refined so they were toothy and very good. Not too sweet, but enough to take the bland edge off

Mostly Sunny - cranberries, raisins, apples, evap cane juice, cinnamon. hearty, good body, chewy, satisfying.

Old School - lots of apples, some raisins, cranberries, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds for chrissake. Not sweet at all but pleasant, chewy, really good.

I hate plain oatmeal but I could eat this shit every day.

Gordons Chesapeake Classics

Clam chowder - thin and milky the way I like it. Tons of clams, good dose of potatoes. Very deep clam flavor, probably the most clammy of any of the chowders I've had. Needed some black pepper. 8+

Brunswick flavored sardines

Soybean oil with hot peppers - 5 big sardines, tender, no scales. Mild heat but spicy, with chopped hot green chilis still in the oil. Very good

Tomato & basil sauce - 3 big sardines, tomato sauce a bit oily but pretty good flavor, with tomato, prominent basil and trace of other herbs. Surprisingly tasty.

Mustard & Dill sauce - 4 medium sardines, thick mustard sauce, mild on the mustard, heavy on the dill. Objectively, I will approve of these while personally not enjoying them because of the dill, which I do not enjoy.
