I think they just shred the hard fat from the carcases at the slaughter
houses and a few bits of flesh get caught in the process. Atora just
refine it.
I haven't used it for many years but if I were to make a S&K pudding or
pie, the bloody bits wouldn't worry me.

Lard is right next to the Crisco in the baking section of grocery stores
here.

No but sometimes it does not work as suet should, perhaps because it
was harvested too far away from the kidney area.

It's a American Standard Optum-VorMax from Home Depot. It will be
professionally installed next Monday and replace a 55 year old Eljer
which is currently leaking slowly from the tank and makes strange
sounds when it's flushed. Oh, and which has a hairline crack in the
bowl. I replace things when they simply don't work anymore. It's time.
This will be my first low-flow toilet ever.

I'll have to check that model out. If your new one does as great
as the A. S. Champion you'll be verrrrry pleased with it.

In my other bathroom I have a Home Depot housebrand that at the
moment I cannot remember the name of. Anyway, it's also a low
flow but just doesn't have the flushing capability of the Champion.
It's only 9 years old so I can't justify replacing it.

The toilet I have is the Eljer Titan series 141-0777 model. It has the
seat height a little higher than standard which sounds goofy but I'd
recommend feature for elderly folks. I am glad you are happy with your
toilet. We should all have it that good.

The VorMax is called right-height. Others call them comfort height.
Makes a difference with bad knees, arthritis, or getting older. I'm
glad we went with them..

Right-height - I like the sound of that. I like "MaxiBoost" even better.

Also called ADA compliant chair height. They're quite popular as they
are easier to arise from.

"The import of olive oil in the US continues to grow. Since 1990, the
amount of olive oil imported into the US has tripled, rising from
100,000 metric tons of imported olive oil to 300,000. This clearly shows
the growing demand and popularity for olive oil within the United
States."

Those figures seem to be correct. People use olive oil in the US but most people use soybean oil by a wide margin. The consumption of olive oil in the US has pretty much stagnated in the past 5 years. I don't believe that we will see much growth in consumption. It's a specialty item and relies on TV chefs promoting it and driving purchases. I don't see that happening. Oils like soybean, corn, and canola, are pretty much utility oils and people use them when they cook. We used over 9 million tons of soybean oil alone in 2016.

How much, I wonder, of that 9 million tons is used by
individuals in their kitchens, and how much is used
"industrially"? I know that I never use soybean oil
at home, but I imagine I eat some when I have falafel,
or french fries, or tempura in a restaurant.

What do the Brits call those things? I don't much care for the word "toilet." I like "crapper" myself.

I'm more interested in plumbing than poop. Unfortunately, sometimes they go hand in hand.

You are most welcome Lavatory is a common name for that piece of

;-)

Speaking of "down under": I thought of Sheldon this morning - on my way to work on this frigid Chicago morning, I espied a lady's black satin brassiere on the sidewalk...made me chuckle ;-)

It is right next to the heater so it stays warm. I do have a towel
warmer though if that makes you happy. Nothing like grabbing a warm
towel when you get out of the shower.

My guess is that he means the Southern hemisphere. That would be wrong. I'm glad we don't live in the South Pacific so we don't have to have our maps upside down. That would just be confusing. Those guys down under rotate in a clockwise direction which explains a lot. They also travel in the opposite direction around the sun from us Americans. Most unfortunate!
