Of Crisco and Moose


I have never in my recollection completely emptied an entire container of Crisco.  It seems my weekly chocolate chip cookie baking is whittling away the supply.  I have to credit Evelyn Hughes for her recipe in the River Cookbook for the copious use of shortening.  Pat is quite the happy man with his weekly supply of cookies, but after the other night of having eaten a large amount for supper, he's decided that moderation is the key to a happy digestive system.

Just the other morning while drinking my coffee, I looked out to see this momma.  How can I tell, you ask? (Well, even if you didn't, I'm going to tell you.)  A moose at this time of year is usually very slim.  This one is nowhere near slim.  I'm not trying to be politically incorrect, but I had to tell her, "You Huge!"!!!

Yes, Lesli! We use that phrase often - and with the accent!
