Along this line, I saw the following on r.f.r:

------------------- Pie Crust Peanut Butter Cookies

1 (9 oz.) pkg. pie crust mix 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup peanut butter 3 Tbsp. water

Cut peanut butter, brown sugar and water into the pie crust mix. Place 1 teaspoon dough on ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Pie crust mix? What's that? Are we basically talking about a sort of Bisquick for pies? I don't see the point. If it's just flour, shortening, sugar, and salt, it hardly seems to be a time savings, since most of the effort is in mixing with water and rolling it out. I *hope* it's not just graham cracker crumbs.

It's been a couple of years since I read through r.f.r--I had gotten fed up with some really bad recipes (especially oil infusions and baked cake-in-a-jar) and stopped reading.

I can top the pie crust mix. A few weeks ago I was browsing the cake decorating departing at my local mega store. I encounter a bag of "frosting mix." I believe that this was a Wilton product and sold for some ungodly amount - around $6.00. The ingredients were powdered sugar, salt, and artificial flavoring. You just had to add some butter or shortening and water or milk. How convenient. Let's see -- I could have purchased the 69 cent bag of confectioner's sugar and had the same thing.

Oh, oh! I've been WHOOSHED!

(Silly me!)

Someone will probably find this in the Google archives and make it!

Things have become so ridiculous that people even fall for the

*illusion* of convenience.
