... baking supplies.

My neighbor knocked on my door this afternoon.  She went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for a carrot cake and forgot to get baking soda. 

No, she didn't run out of baking soda.. she simply didn't have any.  I can't even imagine not having baking soda in my pantry... or baking powder, or anything else I could possibly need to bake a cake.  If I'm running low on something I buy a back up right away. I'm not judging, just impressed that there are people in this world who don't own baking soda!

Yes, I'm partly joking, but not completely, lol.

Baking powder to me seems like an essential item for a pantry.  Also, it has a lot of practical uses around the house and is inexpensive.

Baking powder is not as widely used with all baked products, but it is always in my pantry too!

There is a lot of things about modern life that have be baffled ...

At my son's house they never have bandaids or aspirin ...Granted

the Wal mart is only 3 minute's away .. but still ....then I was informed

this summer that the kids no longer sleep with top sheets .. what

the heck ....

I mean sugar .. flour .. baking powder!. vanilla .. br. sugar and

conf. sugar and baking soda are staples ....maybe I should

envy them in a way as they just don't worry about this stuff ....

And yes I am of the pearl wearing generation ...as I have heard

people called here ...I'm 70 and have never worn pearls in my life...

Not judging  !!!  About the pearls I mean ....!!

I don’t have any baking soda. But, then, I don’t have a pantry either! lol 

I don’t bake so I never have baking supplies but I do sometimes brush my teeth with baking soda & use it for other things so I do usually have baking soda in the house.

I don't bake much these days, but I always make sure I have the basics. One item I can' do without is canned tomatoes, I use them constantly.

I think I need an eye exam or should read a bit slower.  I thought your topic was, "I can't imagine a PANTY without".  Really got my attention.

Heck, I’m impressed that someone answers their front door. I’ve lived in my house for 30 years and I don’t even know my neighbors let alone answer the door.

Sorry about this post.  What I mean to to say was baking soda yes, baking powder not so much.......Thanks for giving me a heart anyway!

I never bake anymore. Have no baking powder but I keep baking soda for things around the house. 

When my husbands family come to visit and I serve them coffee, I don't tell them how old the sugar is! We never use sugar or flour.
