[ExI] olive oil

[William Flynn Wallace]

I understand.  I use olive, peanut and roasted hazelnut in various methods,
the latter for sauteing fish.  Of course the olive does double duty - salad
and frying if I want that flavor.  I have two kinds of coconut oil:  one
denatured (does not smell like anything), and plain, with the smell.  The
first one I use on my skin.  Oh, and I occasionally use ghee.  But mainly
butter.  More than anything else. (the cats I cook for - hello Spike! -
don't like olive oil, so it's butter or peanut).  If you like to cook you
will really like the Nosrat book.  Not for the recipes -for the reading -
28 pages on how to salt, what kind of salt (differences that will amaze
you) and so on.    bill w
