Nonconformity in old age

I dunno. I'm the kinda person that buys the gingerbread mix at Trader Joe's, but then puts cream and water mixed in place of just water, butter instead of oil, & adds a lot of extra ginger, plus cinnamon, raisins and chopped up kumquats, then cooks it in a muffin tin (option not mentioned on the box) instead of a cake pan, reducing the cooking time according to intuition and a toothpick test. We'll see what happens. I think us older people need some stimulation for food to taste like anything. QED. 

I suppose I could just as well make it from scratch, since it's about the same anyway, but somehow having the mix is what gets me started.
