My standards are that I value my time and efforts and don't give a hoot what other people think about how I should be running my life. You OTOH, value a public persona, and spend a lot of time keeping up a front. You flitter away your time with insinuations and aspirations of status and class. That's fine, it's your thing.
 
All I know is that I can bake a cake faster, and cheaper, than you can and it's going to be delicious to boot. You'd be left behind in the dust looking like a dang fool holding your dripping mixer. So sad.

I'll use a box mix because it saves time, it's cheap, and the results are
better than if I tried to make it from scratch. I can make a cake just fine
but a box mix gives a finer texture and tenderness. I can't say if the mixes
you got in the UK are the same as in America.
 
That I don't know. I have never tried them in any country:))
 
To make the cake you add a cup of water, 3 eggs, and 1/3 cup oil. I'm too
lazy to haul out the mixer so I use a hand whisk and mix if for at least 2
minutes. It's a lot of work! The most important part is to not bake it too
long. 🍰

I'm not a big fan of cake. These days, I'll make one from a box every so often because it's pretty easy. I'll probably make another one before these "troubles" are over.
 
Back in the late 70's, I was really into making sponge cake and pound cake. I was the sponge cake and pound cake king. I'd make sponge cake and eat that with strawberries and whipped cream. Holy smokes, those were happy days!

I can mix a cake from scratch, in the time it takes my oven to heat up.
That's pretty fast.
I doubt it's cheaper, though - I use butter in mine.

I can make it faster than you can. I deserve a medal, I suppose.

Why not just try one yourself someday and judge for yourself
and husbands taste. Everyone's tastes differ.
 
I used a box yellow cake once and added in one apple sliced
thinly. It tasted amazing. Made in a 9x13 pan. Very moist
and no icing necessary.

Hmm ... OK! What do you suggest I buy?

The Majestic Theater was 10 cents (no tax of 1 cent). What were those
boxes of gum drop candies in different colors? I always had to find
someone who would take the licorice ones.

I'd have a great idea for the wooden shoe+Dave Smith combo :)

I wouldn't worry about that too much. American women are engaging in combat situations. They have been for years. They get killed and maimed and PTSD'ed just like any other red-blooded American boy in combat. I mean, this ain't the friggin' 60's!

I was merely trying to answer his silly post, yes women should be
equal in this day and age but that said, not everyone is suitable for
the front, male or female.

Women make up only 1.7% of combat infantry positions in the US. It is
2020 and they should be 50-50.

If they are not suitable for the front they should not be in the armed
forces. There appears to be too many people in the armed forces these
days that aren't prepared for the role they are supposed to be trained
for. The number of people being diagnosed or self diagnosed with PTSD
is astoundingly high these days.
 
I knew lots of men who had served overseas for several years during WWII
and came back and pursued successful careers. Nowadays we send a unit
over for a short deployment and they come back with PTSD, and some of
them never saw combat.

I suppose we should do something about that but it's not something that keeps me up at night.

That may or may not be true, but Dave Smith is the last person whose
judgment I'd trust.
