 Hey, someone does actually read this echo. I'm not just shouting down
 a well.

I must have "fat fingered" that one. It was supposed to go into "Cooking"
as part of my daily 10 recipe posts.  <SHRUG>

Why not? I see it specified from time to time. For myslef I use lard,
suet, shortening, butter, schmaltz or a nice neutral flavour oil like
peanut of canola to cook with.

I'm a Type II diabetic so have no experience along those lines. Right
now I am being controlled by diet and exercise. But, I still monitor
my sugar. Last time my docs took me off the meds I found that my fasting
sugars inched up and up and up. Been three months now and I'm holding to
90 - 105 for fasting (early morning) sticks.

This ain't burritos - but it is chciken:
