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.

Crisco is just an imitation of lard, which is the gold standard for deep frying. Unfortunately, lard is almost impossible to find anymore, unless you're talking about those tubs of hydrogenated lard, which is unhealthy and gross. I priced leaf lard recently and it's more expensive than meat is.

Hey. I cook with chicken fat. It makes the best biscuits.

Pineapple usually prevents gelatin from jelling - I think the ingredients here are just scared stiff.

Rush or the Jell-O stuff?

You see what happens when conservative WASPs try to be creative. It never ends well.

Did I parse the headline right? Is Rush actually stuffed with Jello? It <em>would</em> explain a lot ...

My Mother used to make lime Jello with ginger ale and sliced halfs of pear.

If you're going to make it, nothing wrong with a little pop.

Crisco is for whimps.

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.

Reminds me of "Rappers' Delight."

His mom shat jello. They tried to make this salad out of the baby Rush before they realized he only looked like jello - that's why it's so important to him.
