LOL! Seriously! Last time I had a cake mix was probably 2015 or so?

I did just get some peanut butter cookie mixes. I am not good at
making those from scratch and Don likes them at times. I had a good
coupon and a store sale so figured we'd have a little treat. Maybe I
will make them tomorrow, if not, next month will do.

I do have molasses and a lite Karo for baking. Brown sugar and honey
powder too. Regular sugar for tea.
