Well now, I didn't think about that, Elisi, thanks.  I've been wanting to
cook with lard for awhile now but didn't want to purchase the hydrogenated
stuff.  Recently, I've been purchasing organic non-transfatty acid palm oil
from Whole Foods.  It looks like regular shortening.  I do like it but I
would prefer the taste and saturated fat paleoness of lard.
