    • The right to hold a weekly market was an invaluable privilege not given to all towns in the Middle Ages.

    • Mixes [such as cake mixes, pancake mixes, or sauce mixes] are sometimes a reasonable alternative and sometimes not. […] Pancake mixes often offer no advantages at all. Nonetheless, there are times when you would be foolish not to use a mix. Perhaps a domestic emergency occurs. Perhaps cupcakes must be brought to school tomorrow morning, but when you stop at the market on your way home from work, you cannot remember whether you have baking powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, nutmeg, cake flour, chocolate, or vanilla on your shelf, or you want to go through the “five items or fewer” line. So you buy the mix. Only a glutton for punishment would do otherwise. 1999, Cheryl Mendelson, Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House, Scribner, →ISBN, pages 45-46:
