The Ghost of Recipes Past has scanned our archives and found this thing, which had previously run in July 2012 . It is more Jell-O, for people who find Mamie Eisenhower a tad intimidating. OK, sure, we made fun of Rush Limbaugh for putting saccharine in his hot cocoa recipe and frying a chicken in Crisco. But were we being fair? Not really. We finally saw The Help last night, and according to Minnie, not only will Crisco soften your elbows but it is the Platonic Ideal for frying chicken. That thing was like a 2 hour and 30 minute Crisco commercial, with racism! We will buy a jar immediately! BUT. Did you happen to notice that thing above? It is a recipe from Rush's mom, as also discovered by the
My mom calls canned Cream of [Anything] soup "Lutheran binder" and it took me years to realize that was just a comment on potluck casseroles and not an actual term.

When it comes to pie crust, get the lard out. And then in.
Could be worse. Could be one of the those godawful mushroom soup casseroles with canned green beans and little onion bits on top.
