This is too funny!! I can relate to your baking fiasco as I have had some myself. I like how you depict your experience with the ingredients that do not cooperate with you!! Thanks for the laugh!
I hope not. But you never know what you're going to get at the Amish store. They bulk package all the flour in plastic bags. A few years ago I bought flour there and I swear it was mixed with baking powder since all my cakes and breads came out over-leavened. When I threw out the flour and used good old Gold Medal flour the problem was solved.
I guess I need to boycott the Amish as well as the Chinese. I'll be starving.
Oh my! I'm wondering if they've got younger kids helping them with the packaging and they get confused! Have you mentioned to them that at times things are mislabeled? They probably need to address that, for the sake of their livelihood!
I do like your anti-China rant, especailly how you set it up.
My wife wanted a new home alarm system with CCTV cameras and motion sensors (it's not so safe anymore where we live), so I spent a shit-load on this "made in China" piece of crap system.
The alarm has gone off a few times in the middle of the night and the early hours of the morning.
My wife has this app on her phone where she can go back into the CCTV footage and see the cause of the alarm being tripped.
Each and every time, it's been the bloody cat from next door.
So this morning it went off again, and I said to her:
"I wasted all this cash on a fucking Chinese cat surveillance system!"
You watch, should you have the misfortune of having someone break into your home it probably won't go off at all. Just makes you want to pull your hair out! We have Arlo cameras, most likely made in China, because they too trip off when Rusty, our cat walks by. Of course I'm still waiting to see if they trip when the neighborhood convicted burglar Sonny Boy, who lives across the street, tries to break in some day during his heroine high.

It still tastes good. Guess I'll eat it. Oh and if someone knows a never-fail buttercream frosting, drop the recipe off. Thanks.
Did you accidentally buy non-gluten flour of some sort, maybe?

Glad it didn't turn out to be your recipes!

I am sorry, I just laughed. First one I've had all day.
Been a terrible day. And it is gonna get a lot worse...for all of us.
