Office is slow this morning, so I ordered FO's. Three of them were needed for orders, the other seven were for my own enjoyment... Otherwise just sitting here contemplating my life and the weather. Last week 25 inches of snow, this week it's raining... good times.

Lin, I'd be upset, too. And I don't even like cake!

@Nate5700 NOPE, IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LEMON CAKE.

I really wanted lemon

Two things that might help: make a simple lemon glaze to top it with: confectioner's sugar and lemon juice. Make a lemon curd to put between two layers of cake, then add lemon glaze.

Last week I chose to stay in because of the snow. Now I’m sick with a bad cold. I’ve completely lost my voice so I can’t even call anyone. Hubby is turkey hunting. I. have. cabin. fever.

I'd be letting them know. Sometimes it pays to complain.

 

[Lin19687]

@Misschief I did complain to the main company. Did you all know that the people that did Duncan Hines own like 50 other companies ??!!
I told them I won't buy their brand again. I'll just make form scratch lol

I don't use frosting, I just like the cake. I tossed them all but 6 small cupcakes

That's how a lot of these brands are. Nabisco and Kraft I think were both owned by the tobacco companies at some point. GE makes everything from kitchen appliances to substation circuit breakers to jet engines. It's pretty rare to have a major brand that's owned by a company that does just one thing.

 

[Lin19687]

Yes I did know that, but was just surprised how long the Drop down menu was for picking what product (on the Duncan Hines webite).

You didn't tell me it was Duncan Hines! I stopped buying their mixes a few years ago, the flavor quality dropped and the lemon didn't taste lemon, the dark chocolate tasted exactly like the chocolate fudge (I think it's called). I switched to Pillsbury... and then I stopped baking all together. I'm pretty sure the cupboard full of cake mixes that moved with me into the new house are all expired. Oh wait... maybe it was Betty Crocker that I'm thinking of. Ohgeezus, now I've managed to confuse myself. Bah, they're probably all owned by the same company anyways.

I am sitting here painfully counting every minute until I can go home. Even though I had a 4-1/2 day weekend last week, I sure am ready for another one! Maybe I can finally get whatever is running me down out of my system by catching some extra sleep. Really not looking forward to all the work I have to do so I can make soap. I did get dishes started over lunch and lye masterbatched, so there's that. I hate soap dishes. It's gross. Maybe even grosser than washing real dishes. You'd think with all these kids running around my house I would be able to pay someone to wash them for me... nope. They'd all rather get the free handout from their dads. I think I just crossed over from "bored" to "post your gripe". Oh! the sun just broke through here, yippee! Something else to make me wish I wasn't here.

I used to l0ve talking to the patients when they called in-or I called them!! could always tell when they said hi how the call was going to go. there are some crabby ass people out there but there are some real sweeties and thankfully I got more of the sweeties than the other ones.

I talked to them after I called their insurance company to see if they were covered and how much the insurance would pay (physical therapy). there are a lot of crappy insurances out there and it always made my day to get yelled at the cuz the insurance "they" picked didn't cover
