Well, it’s happening here even in the South: At work we just received a MEMO informing us that as of February 5, 2007, there would be NO MORE trans fat served in our cafeteria. We had to sign it–probably so our loved ones won’t sue if we fall over dead into our fried chicken and barbecued pork skins in the next few months.

For the record the pound cake I am making Fred has Crisco in it because that’s the way my Aunt Willie made it and it is damn good.
