Moose's Rules of Life

[legalmoose]

By special request, Moose's Rules of Life:

1. Life is inherently ridiculous.


2. People are stupid.


3. Fat is flavor.


4. Of course I don't fight fair; I'm an attorney.


5. Youth is fleeting, but immaturity can be forever.


6. The hotter the guy online, the further away he lives.

#2 is by far and away the most quoted of the rules (especially when I'm driving). #1 gets me through so many days working for the Federal government. #3 is more a truism than a rule, but it's been there for a while now, so it's stuck. #4 goes without saying. #5, well, it's fun. And #6 is so, so, so, so, so, so true.

So there you have them, or at least what they are thus far.

Oops! I meant a "bit" of lard, not a "big" of lard! hahaha. That tip is from Alton Brown and really... due to melting temps, etc... it's what makes the pie crust WOW. By a bit, I mean like 1 tablespoon.

I'd like to try your pie! Crust! Pie crust! I meant pie crust!

(Added you, btw, hope that's ok)

I've tried AB's crust recipe, and it's very good. I'm just not a fan of lard in my food. (It has better uses.) I've found if you control the conditions right, butter works well enough. Not crisp and flaky, but with a good consistency and a soft taste.

(And it's alright... I'd post more frequently, but I'm having to much fun with lard.)

I have lard leftover from my pie crusts at Christmas and was wondering if you had any suggestions for what I might do with it...
