 DS> recipes that call for margarine, but I think that the days of avoiding

I should hope so; there's no reason for using margarine
except for cost reasons, though I used to and still do
like to put corn oil margarine on corn on the cob.

 Long time ago (half a century?) we
 DS> used Imperial margarine because it worked better in cookies and other
 DS> recipes that most margarines.

I remember margarines being of different firmnesses, with
the firmer ones substituting well for butter and the softer
ones not being good for any kind of cooking at all. The
firmer ones, being more hydrogenated, were supposed to
convey fewer health benefits.

I also remember the commercials showing a cute housewife
biting into bread spread with Imperial and having a crown
appear on her head. I wonder whether all those old bits
have been archived in some video library.

   Gail has made her usual batch of
 DS> Christmas cookies.  I think that she went through more than six pounds
 DS> of butter doing so.

 DS> BTW, Gail and I went back to the Grande Buffet in Laurel.

Good.

 DS> This time in early afternoon, it was dismal.

Not good. I suppose that it takes great energy and expense to
maintain quality at a buffet in off hours. Perhaps the best
strategy would be to price admission to encourage a steady
flow of customers - maybe full price at 11 to 1 and 5 to 8
but a discount of $2 to 4 if you check in between 2 and 4,
something like that.
