I Beg to Differ


The Chelsea Milling Company dares to display "America's Favorite" on its red, white and blue Jiffy Box, presumably to display genuine patriotism. If its claim is true, then I must be an illegal alien!
This morning, Sam and I found 2 Jiffy Muffin mixes in our cramped cupboard. (Honestly, I have no idea where they came from; I never made the purchase.) Delighted, we discovered that we had blueberry and apple flavored. The box proposes that we could make pancakes from the mix. Lie number one! If you call a crepe-like consistency speckled with imitation fruit a pancake, well then I retract my accusal.
I tucked in my pouting lip, convinced that making muffins out of the second box would bring Jiffy redemption. Let's suffice to say that 1 hr, 2 lies, and a sink of dirty dishes later, I settled for a bowl of cereal.

I have never bough Jiffy muffin mix, mostly because it requires eggs. But I've always wondered if it was good. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I will wonder no more.

Okay chica, maybe their little muffin mixes don't quite cut the mustard. But their straight up Jiffy Mix is the best for pancakes!
