“cake mix”

I baked a cake this morning. The major ingredient is now sugar. Boxes used to be 18 or 21 oz. The box this morning was 15.25 ounces I believe.

I really should have used only two eggs. The three they called for might have been fine for a 21 oz. box.

And particularly since eggs cost so much now. Sometimes I wonder if they have test kitchens any more before they print the instructions for the new box size.

Grandson commented that we can now afford to buy bacon but can’t afford the eggs to go with it. He loves omelets and would eat one huge one every night for dinner loaded with veggies and all kinds of stuff. Not an every night meal any more.
