Some products are packaged so that one box constitutes one unit, and when they change that units size out of corporate stinginess, it’s inconvenient.

It’s very cool that you use fresh bulk ingredients for everything, so this article isn’t about you.

The point is that is a self-induced problem or at least one that you can avoid if you take care to not become reliant on some corporation for your "family" recipe.

You're already reliant on corporations for your family recipes.

People ITT are so quick to get all Richard Stallman on their grandmothers for having the gall to use a pre-measured can of Cream of Mushroom soup in their casserole recipe.

Yes, we're commenting on an article that would have proven Food Stallman right.

Relying on processed flour and similar staples is hardly the same as relying on a specific unique cake mix.
