I’ve been looking over my mother’s handwritten recipes lately as a way to honor and memorialize her as I approach the one year anniversary of her death. She was never a great mom, but I loved her nonetheless. I’ve always been struck by the fact that wherever a recipe would logically call for butter, she wrote oleo. Also, she was obese. Go figure.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother, I'm sure that one is one of the hardest to get through.
What is oleo? I'm not familiar with the term

Thank you. Oleo is margarine. I grew up on the east coast. Perhaps it is a colloquial term.

Ah, now that I know what is. Never cared for the stuff myself. My mom used it in almost everything.
