Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

Knew a fella once who quit cigarettes , booze , slow women , fast cars & good tasting /fast food . Doc said he'd live longer . He said wasn't sure of that but sure as well did feel like it . Lol Luck
Everything in moderation including moderation .

Any recipe I make that calls for Lard I replace in equal
Amounts of butter. I have not used yard or 'crisco (which is only soy) in about 10 or more years.

Butter will give you a wonderful flaky pastry!

Soft margarine and canola are the work of the devil!!!!!! don't use them! Those seminars are marketing symposia to push certain companies products. I used to work for company that made those vile egg white cartons and egg beaters. They have to put chemicals in them and had problems with bacterial contamination. Interestingly many of us when doing Chemo got weird cravings for salt and were told by the nurses to use more salt because on checking our blood levels it was too low esp with the amount of fluid you use.
There was a study too that showed that 50%? of falls involving seniors were because there was an electrolyte imbalance showing sodium was too low and leading to dizziness and fainting.
Rant over!
BTW muffin I need the pie crust recipe with the almond flour because I have guests coming in a week and Brenda is gluten intolerant (quite badly)

I love cooking with lard. Lol but rarely manage to get any because i forget.....
We mostly use unsalted butter. No margarine. And no seals were harmed for the making of this post
I tried gluten free and my recipes were ok but i dont have the time to experiment...

K2 Milling in Beeton (Mark Hayhoe) has all kinds of flours and amendments. Lots of Gluten Free. All milled on site. After I brought home some Pastry flour my wife has never used All Purpose again.

Not that naive, actually the seminar was on smart aging for women.
Speaker was Elizabeth Rigley BSc, MHS, RN, autor of "Smart aging for women" preventing heart disease.
Since I am not about to change my diet at this late stage, it's probably way too late for me but knowledge is power and I like power.:)
The only way I will ever cut my fat intake in half is if I eat half portions, probably not a completely worthless idea, but I am a bit shocked by our salt intake, even after being completely under the impression I use very little salt.

KB, here is a recipe for the GF Almond Flour pie crust. You can make it plain without the cinnamon or vanilla extract. I make mine right in my pie pan with no need to use a bowl.

The other thing is that Europe has brought back higher salt levels again. There are different levels for different risk profiles too. Sadly Canada lags way behind again. Another thought is that cutting back on salt only helps those who are salt sensitive for eg High BP. Yet again dieticians jumped on the bandwagon. Not worried about you OC but a friends wife went totally nuts on the diet stuff after a seminar at the hospital, unbelievable the amount of misinformation out there.

Thx muffin!

Killerbunny you are probably already aware, but just incase be careful of any cross contamination when preparing gf foods for people with allergies. That is why it is very rare for me to eat out.
