(KY can be hard to come by in south Georgia, but the Winn Dixie brand of auto transmission fluid works just as well and is only 92 cents a can.) They built a new Ryan’s since you were here. The old Ryan’s is now called The Harvest Buffet. A delightful mixture of Italian, Southern, Japanese and Chinese cuisine. Surprisingly enough, it ain’t too bad. Apparently they are soon to add in Mexican! Also, in a pinch, the Harvey’s Supermarket brand of shortening works quite well. ---

> [@matt\_mcl](#): > > But it’s not latex compatible!! :eek: So use sheep intestines – that’s an old standby, isn’t it? From pre-rubber days. Crisco ought to work just fine with them, and you can even pan-fry 'em afterwards. ---
