  NEVER eat margarine. Period. Buy butter. It's worth the extra $$, and, believe it or not, it's actually much healthier for you than margarine. Any time you are using solids ~ shortening, butter, lard ~ and need to substitute, use the exact same amount, EXCEPT for margarine. Margarine won't even melt correctly much less incorporate properly into your recipes. Try it ~ experiment. You'll see the difference in the very first recipe! ;) Good luck to you ~ contact me any time you have questions/ need help. deb n tim
