sheesh bakery goods

SharkE — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 18:03:48 GMT

I bought 2 small brownies today in a bakery cost almost 4 bucks

Came home and opened the sack and had to microwave the things they

were hard, dry and stale.

Treated myself since high winds are coming in and had to get things done early before I couldn't leave the house and even though it's not the weekend I was making an exception.

Thank God I can cook I'd beeen ashamed to charge 4 bucks for 2 tiny brownies that were dried out. Make my own from now on and for half price.

Sorry about the bad brownies.

But, you don't have to explain why you needed or wanted a treat!

@SharkE @I think the price was good coming from a bakery...too bad the quality wasn’t there..I hope you stay safe from the winds.If you can hang on to power you will be able to bake something great in your own kitchen this weekend.I am thinking cinnamon buns after that last picture you posted they haven’t left my head,

I think baked goods everywhere, including grocery stores, have gotten ridiculously expensive. I buy a brand of gluten-free bread that costs nearly $6 a loaf now. Why does it have to cost that much??

@SharkE Hershey’s milk chocolate snack sized bars are good in a pinch, you made me want chocolate so I had to snitch one!

awwwww Bless your heart. I think they leave stuff out in the open air and maybe left over from day before. Not worth 4 bucks I always thought they had mine beat, but, not stale LOL I put stuff up in air tight containers, zip lock bags, etc.

If your gonna charge almost 2 bucks a brownie at least try your best to have them fresh. Ridiculous, microwaving a brownie like a pork chop LOL

awwwwww no ! don't want anybody to fall off the wagon. Reason I was treating myself on a Wed is hubbo had to work today and I was running around getting stuff from library and paying my cable bill before I knew later on I wouldn't be able to stand up in the winds. 9 this morning it was still. Now, it's getting going.

I know myself and I have to watch impulse control. Hubbo can count out 10-15 chips and stop I've got a monkey on my back and I can't stop till I'd eat the whole bag. Since that's a habit from childhood and what made me gain so much wgt and knees to blow out I try to be strict as a drill sgt. LOL

Like a drunk I'll be going to pigs anonymous if I don't set guidelines.

I figure what I gain over weekend benders I can take off thru weekdays.

Don't know if brownie mixes interest you @SharkE but I was impressed with Betty Crocker's triple chocolate chunk brownie mix. I needed a brownie type base for a recipe and that box mix produced really tasty brownies.

@SharkE I'm like your DH with the rationing, and I also eat very slowly, which helps a lot too. I have had friends like you who can't stop, and they just had to keep those things out of the house. (I know your DH would have a fit if you did that, though.)

BeccaLou — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 19:29:42 GMT

Maybe just a one time thing. But if you go back mention to the bakery what happened. I would probably buy again so i wouldn't have a dozen laying around.

@SharkE @My mom went to a weighloss group in the 79s called Hub City Tubs.They intimidated you into losing weight by weighing each person as they came in and announcing for everyone if you lost or gained.The unfortunate person who gained the most was granted the stuffed pig and must keep it until someone else won it.I don’t think people today would tolerate that stuff but I must say in all the years my mom belonged she only brought the pig home once...she feared that weigh in and therefore lost the weight.

All I can think of that bakery is SHEESH !

Yeah, he's not human. LOL For a man, he's real unusual. He's bound and determined even in his 'old' age he's not gonna let himself go to seed like others his age. No big pot gut for him. He's into routine, disciplined (boring LOL) His saying is "I eat to live, whereas, you live to eat". ROFL

Yeah, I used to buy candy bars and Twinkie cakes. I don't know if Hostess is even still in business been so long since I've even thought about that kind of junk food.

One thing I got working for me is I like fruit (sugar), fish, boiled chicken, beans, oatmeal. I switched to I can't believe it's not butter too. Still use REAL butter on weekend because it really affects the outcome of what you make. Course, I grew up in a cooking family, too. His side couldn't cook for ****. LOL Awful stuff. He saw a picture of himself way back yrs ago when we were on vacation coming out of the water in Hawaii and some people asked him when he was due and after that

he got serious and doesn't get over 150. He's short too.

He's more of a meat eater then I am. I'm bread and pastry type. LOL

yeah, store bought stuff keeps better because of the preservatives.

I can want something all week then on weekend I'll eat couple of pieces

and the craving is over and it's done with.

(don't eat these any more would give me splitting headache)

@SharkE @Good that your dh stays in shape...you might get to keep him around longer and he will remain handy around the house.Eat to live...he probably has it right as long as his choices are healthy.My dh stays in good shape too and although almost 70 he can out work those 40 year olds.Sometimes he helps them with yard projects and when he returns I ask if they are all finished.He says no but those guys needed a rest.LOL

@SharkE : My DH understands your experience. One doctor he has regular appointments with- the next door baker is her daughters. One day he went in to check it out and had the same results. For several years I baked brownies for him from scratch but he wasn’t happy with the results. I purchased a box mix and doctored it up and used a special brownie pan and he prefers them. DH has wanted a cream cheese pound cake for ever and the weather had not cooperated. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. I no longer make big cakes. When I do the pound cake it is in the 8.5 loaf pans so I can put several in the freezer. DH was happy to see 8 pans on the counter. Had issues with KA mixer- leaking oil and for first time it slipped out of speed selected and very wobbly when creaming the sugar and butter. No where locally to take for someone to fix it. I don’t bake much anymore and I do have a hand mixer that I can use. Hang on and stay safe. Southern Bee

Sorry, I know it’s disappointing- A good bakery is rare and pricey these days in suburbs or rural areas... (not talkin about grocery stores)!

Gotta bake yourself, but the boxed brownies and cakes are pretty darn good, and not hard !!

I like to watch other people enjoy food why I take stuff to church folk

People don't cook any more. They worked all their lives and never learned.

I worked some, but, not enough to amount to anything. Good thing I married up hhahahahah

Anyway, all the calories I give to others and enjoy the applause.
