Well, you're both wrong on this one. Sorry that you thought that.
I've never assumed that you don't know the difference or don't know
how to make it.

I'm just surprised that so many here seem to "settle" for
the commercial vs homemade. And sf did "Ping: Gary" me to say that
she did make her own this time. I consider most people that post
here to be "better than average" cooks and I also know that
many of you create better meals than I do.

Good example: I have no problem with Hamburger Helper occasionally.
I make it maybe twice a year and enjoy it. But anytime I mention
it I hear, "Why would you buy that crap when it's so easy to make
yourself."

Well, it's my turn with the canned chicken broth:
"Why would you buy that crap when it's so easy to make yourself?"

And I'm only talking about canned *broth*. My store finally started
selling *stock*. The Swanson in the odd box. I bought some
the other day and it IS much more flavorable than any broth
that I've tried (3-5 different brands of dishwater. heheh)
