Hi Michael,

 RH> I suspect so. Some corporation has imported a lot of heavy duty
 RH> industrial sewing machines however and taught women how to use them.
 RH> Cheap labor compared to costs here but it gives them some money
 RH> probably hard to get elsewise.

 ML> There are probably beneficial effects to the local economy
 ML> and disruptive effects to the local society. No free lunch,
 ML> as they say.

Not a free one most often but one at a good price is often attainable.


 RH> Let me level with you--the files are what keep some of us here, others
 RH> stay for the screwball nuts that bolt in and out from time to time.

 ML> There are also the regular pliers of the trade.

How long did it take to wrench that one out of you? (G)


 RH> don't want to pay for air; I want chocolate.
 ML> If the air offered a benefit, as it does in cotton candy,
 ML> whipped cream, and the like, I'd say all right.
 RH> Can't see any benefit to these.

 ML> I don't see any benefit to me, but there's no doubt that
 ML> a market exists for them, and without aeration, there
 ML> wouldn't be. So it's a benefit to the producers and (at
 ML> least a perceived one to) the consumers

This consumer has no plans to consume them.


 ML>       Title: No-Cholesterol Fruit-Filled Muffins
 ML>       2 c  Bisquick baking mix
 RH> So what kind of fat is used in the Bisquick mix? I don't have a box
 RH> here to check out but I'm sure it's got some cholesterol in it.

 ML> Nohow. Vegetable shortening only. A commonly ignored fact
 ML> is that no vegetable product has any cholesterol. It may be
 ML> gross and full of hydrogenated fat, but cholesterol, never.

OK, it's been probably 35 years or longer since I bought a box of that
stuff; I generally make my own.

 ML>       Title: BISQUICK MIX
 ML>  Categories: Breads, Mixes
 ML>    Servings: 13

 ML>            -Diana Lewis-VGWN37A                1 ts Cream of tartar
 ML>       9 c  All-purpose flour                 1/4 c  Sugar

I use whole wheat floour, no cream of tartar.


 ML>     1/3 c  Double-acting baking powder         2 c  Shortening; like
 ML> crisco       1 tb Salt

Shortening is usually oil or solid like butter or Spectrum. I also add a
packet (1 1/3 cups) or 1 1/2 cups, non packet, instant powdered milk.
No sugar; it gets added if needed when making the baked goods.

 ML>   sift baking powder, salt, cream of tarter, sugar with flour 3 times.
 ML> Cut in   shortening until mix is consistency of cornmeal store in
 ML> covered containers   and store at room temp. (I put the shortening in

My version is stored in the fridge.
