What oils are available to you? You can make your own mayonaise. It's not actually that difficult, and it tastes really good.

I haven't found any oils yet--thus the lack of mayonnaise!

It's certainly theoretically possible to make midwest local corn oil or peanut oil, but I have no evidence that anyone does it.

If there are local peanuts, you could buy peanuts, have them ground into peanut butter, wait for the oils to separate, drain off the oil, and use the dry peanut butter for baking cookies and bars. . .

You're not gonna believe this, but apparently to make peanut butter you have to add some already-existent oil to the peanuts before you grind them up!
