Thanks. Perhaps if I could find a website that also sold some other things
I needed, it might justify paying the shipping costs. I really don't use a
lot of it because I *only* use it for mashed potatoes. I don't know if
there is anything else I could or should use it in. Have never seen any
recipes for it. I still use EVOO but find it has too much of a taste for
mashed potatoes. Love it in roasted ones though. Tonight I'll be using a
touch of light olive oil in my mashed potatoes. I have a butter substitute
that we're not allergic to. It provides the right amount of taste but has
no fat. So to get the proper mouthfeel I need to add some fat that isn't
going to compete with the taste.

And stop watching Rachel Ray! Bwahahahaha. I don't know why but men seem
to like her. My husband and dad both watch her and neither of them cook.
Well, my dad cooks a little but not much. They'll even point out products
at the grocery store with her on them. Like Ritz crackers. Actually she's
not so bad. Just a wee bit too bubbly for my taste.
