Spry

Yesterday after Deanna and I inventoried the kitchen at Mom's, Deanna took her recipe card file to look through.  She called me today and wanted to know what this weird ingredient in a cookie recipe was.  She said it was for Wheaties Cookies and was in my handwriting.  The ingredient was 'spry'.  Does anyone besides me know what that is?

I think that it was a kind of shortening?

I told you that you used to make Wheaties cookies!

You just wait until you are my age and you won't remember, either!

A kid never forgets the taste of a good cookie!!!

So, back in the "old days," shortening was supposed to make you spry? I thought it clogged your arteries and made you fat...silly me!

It's better than Lard!

Gordon, that is exactly what Brenda said, "It's better than lard." Great minds think alike.
