The episode was called "And The Secret Ingredient" so it was really weird. As a recapper aptly put it:

Not only does this undermine the whole premise of Max and Caroline’s potential bakery, but it also undermines the whole premise of this show. Why are they saving up their money to start a bakery when Max actually does not even know how to bake?

She did say that, tiggy, but later (different recapper--this one liked the ep!):

At the register, Caroline counts 39 boxes of Duncan Hines cake mix and needs 1 more to get $23 back with her coupons. 1 box turns out to be Pillsbury, which Max reveals is the secret ingredient in her cupcakes. Max then admits that she doesn’t know how to bake from scratch

oh...that's right. that is a stupid move on the writer's part.

wrod. but real bakers hate mixes.

I'm not a real baker, and I hate mixes. I have considered gluten free mixes for the same reason as Gris, but that's it. I don't even use mix for cornbread.

I'm a real cupcake purchaser, and if it's gotta be a mix, make it a mix I can't buy for myself, eh?

Cornbread mix is good for adding shit into to make really good. If that were the plot I'd be all over it. Ditto angel food cake - the mix is really going to exceed homemade, assuming you haven't spent six months in France or something. Regular cake - it's just not hte same thing.

Also, like ita ! said, they really need to get rid of all of the ethnic stereotyping.

I think that's part of Whitney Cummings's regular schtick, though. And she's the creator, I believe.

I don't really know anything about her, other than the fact that the preview for Whitney looked awful to me.

Continuing on with Community, and I suddenly realized I want a Community/Alphas crossover so Troy and Abed can interact with Gary.

Abed and Bill interacting could be pretty funny too.

I'd have to taste that to believe it, since everything I've tasted that's a supermarket mix has been handily outdone by a careful custom recipe.

But I do not care enough to buy and mix my own.

I actually like the *show* Whitney, sj, but I would agree that the guys who came up with those trailers need to be set upon by dogs. But when it's just her and her boyfriend, especially, it's pretty decent.(It's no MTM, but good for some chuckles.) I think I've had mostly store-bought angel food, so nothing to add to that conversation.
