Idgie And Ruth Used It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, Why Not Today????????????????????????????



                                    As Mrs. Lovett, from the musical "Sweeney Todd," said "Times is hard!," and seeming, today, to get harder all the time. So, why not return to a simpler age.....like cooking with Crisco?????????????

                                    "Digestible, all-vegetable, Crisco!"  So went the ad, when I was a kid.

                                      Just scoop it out, fry it in a pan, and, before you know, chickens, vegetables, biscuits, even cookies, or a cherry pie, are yours for the eating!

                                       Dismiss those rumors about Hostess' white cream being a mixture of Crisco and sugar.  The texture is different, I can tell you, from annual consumption of "Sno-Balls;" pink, of course, being my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!  It didn't do Idgie, Ruth, and the folk during their time any harm.
You know why, darlings????????  Because there was less processed food--if any--than there is now.  I am telling you, a processed can of asparagus--for those who might deign to eat such a thing--is more lethal than Crisco.

                                         So, girls, while contemplating what to cook for your husband, why not fry him a Crisco dinner, and bake a desert?????????  He will fall asleep, afterward, and stay out of your hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        "Digestible, all purpose Crisco!"  Return us to a more innocent time!

  1. Oh, boy, are you ever inviting risque comments with this one.

    I will not take the bait.

    Oh, hell, of course I will:

    Who cares if its digestible, since 90% of users apply it directly to the opposite end of the alimentary canal? Has anyone seriously cooked food with this stuff since Al Pacino released "Cruising" in 1980?

  2. Darling,
    You have a point...and not an idiotic one.
    Growing up, in the kitchen cabinet, that
    blue jar was always there. But I have no
    memory of my mother ever cooking with
    Crisco. Yet the jar was there. Maybe
    it was some kind of fashion or social
    statement!
