  1. Sarah, you're killing me with the food posts. i can gain weight just looking at it, and I have to say if these were any where I could get my hands on them they'd be GONE! Might have to give these a try for Christmas.

  6. Shortening is vegetable fat used for making cakes, pies pastries etc. Some people used lard. I use Crisco brand. Honey, when you get here I will make you a whole cake! Come on lottery numbers!
