Can your husband have anything??! Good lord, woman, according to you your
entire family is allergic to everything. Not trying to be mean but how on
earth do you manage to eat? I can't believe you've never heard of using
vegetable shortening instead of lard. You must be a very, very new cook.
Be sure to avoid animal fats in the lower cost brands of "shortening".
