OK girls, I just had to add my .02 on the shortening frosting debate.

I actually use an OLD (crica 1940's?) frosting recipe that calls for

shortening. Its from one of those free cookbooks that used to come

from Crisco - yes Crisco! And believe it or not its such a good recipe

that I've had people ask me for it. The main difference is that it

calls for an egg and you make a quick 'syrup' out of sugar and water

that seems to blend all the ingredients so well. I've replaced some of

the shortening with butter on occasions, but straight shortening still

turns out pretty darn good. Hard to believe I bet :)
