"yellow corn meal"
Don't try to recreate from scratch Jiffy corn muffins until you try a
box of the original. If you like that, then try your own version if
necessary.

YES SIR!!!

Same with the recent Lipton onion soup mix. Why try to make it from
scratch when you don't even know if you like it?

I might try it as soup but that is not why I wanted it. I am using
it as seasoning in various things and it is very good.

Last week, I made a 2lb meatloaf and for the first time, I added a
packet of the onion soup mix. It was good. I'll use that again next time
but I won't make up my own scratch version. That would be a total waste
of my time.

Gary, when I was working full time that would have been a waste
of my time too, but I am retired and can spend as long as I like messing in
the kitchen)) I am having good time)

A Banquet Turkey dinner is fine for me occasionally. Turkey, stuffing
and gravy, mashed potatoes and peas. A 10oz meal, 280 calories, costs
about $1.00, and pretty tasty. I can make that dinner in 5 minutes. Do
you think I'm going to make all that from scratch? I don't think so.


I have no idea
