How to convert 4 Tablespoons beef bouillon to beef broth?
Converting bouillon to broth is simple.
Four(4) tablespoons is equal to 1/4 cup.
A bouillon cube is 1 teaspoon - there are three(3) teaspoons in a tablespoon.
Therefore, 12 teaspoons in a 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons)
It actually depends on the strength you desire you broth to be. The usual recipe is 1 teaspoon of bouillon plus one cup of hot water. Using 1/4 cup of bouillon, you would need 12 cups of water more or less, depending on how strong or weak you want you broth. Unless you have a specific recipe that calls for this much bouillon, I suggest you try using one(1) tablespoon at a time with 2-1/2 cups of water (adding more water afterwards), until you find the taste you're desiring.

Can margarine substitute for lard in homemade suet?
No: Suet is firm even at room temperature, while most margarines will be too soft to hold any shape. you really can't make homemade suet, per se. Suet is suet. If you are using this to feed to birds, PLEASE do not use margarine: it's an artifically thickened product that could be very bad for the birds. It's chemically alterated to be thick and there are already questions over its safety for humans. Birds need the nice fats in real suet in the winter because it helps build their body fat and keep them warm and nourished. Margarine will not benefit them in the same way and their bodies may not be able to really use the fact at all since it's not similar molecurlarly to any naturally occuring fat. The whole issue is controversial but many studies suggest that humans can't really digest this substance either.
Buy real suet for the birds. If you are making plum pudding, you can probably use lard or butter though.

How do you substitute Krill oil for fish oil?
Now, it's true-fish and fish oil are fantastic sources of omega-3 fatty acids, but they don't always work for everyone. The other day I saw a patient who was frustrated because she just couldn't find a fish oil supplement that didn't give her gas or a lousy aftertaste. This isn't common for everyone, but it does happen… so it's important to have an alternative. Another great source of omega-3 fatty acids is flaxseed and flaxseed oil.
