Nothing is simple any more

Have you ever tried to make an old family recipe? Although you follow the instructions exactly as written yet it taste nothing like it did when they made it way back then. Well I have learned that the ingredients we buy today can be the difference not your baking skills. For instance three cups of flour back then is five cups today because of all the sifting done in making flour today. The same is true in many areas of life compared to back then. In simpler times life was simpler. In the 21st century things change from minute to minute and you got to bend like a pretzel to keep up with the flow just to simply survive.
