One Last Pie In The Face for White Fang and Black Tooth

[filkertom]

Great sadness. Comedian Soupy Sales has passed away at the age of 83. Either you don't know who he was or why he was funny, or you absolutely do.

What are your favorite kinds of pie? Nothing beats a good apple for me, but peach can also be lovely.

lard...

Then tenderest crumb in pretty much *all* baking comes from lard :-) Trust me -- there's a whole section in college level Food Chemistry devoted to various fats and *why*. Short answer; has to do with fat vs protein vs moisture ratios. Long answer; I'd have to look up and don't have the books to hand.

I paid $700 in 1980s dollars to learn that (except the Gram taught me as a kid, too, but not the why). I share it now for free :-)
