a baking rant

[littlepoem 0]

ok...here goes.....why is it that everything i bake here turns out YUGGY!!!! I made a pie the other day and i almost chipped a tooth on the crust....in Canada i used tenderflake lard..i can't find it here...then today i made brownies and apple crisp and they both taste like errr ummmmmm nevermind....is anyone else having this problem with baking or is it just me? i am thinking it it because the ingredients i use here are different...or maybe i just lost my touch....do you find a difference?....oh by the way...hi everyone!

What did you use in place of Tenderflake? (I'm sure it can be found here - online for sure.)

if you read hat link I posted if you live in a higher altitude it can affect the outcome of your baking.. but I don't know much about Arizona so I don't know what the altitude is there...
