me vs 14½ ounce cans of broth.

so I’ve been doing a bit of cooking lately, cooking a whole lot of comfort foods because it’s just so goddamn miserable outside.

I’ve been pretty successful so far scouring the interweb for relatively simple recipes and turning them into dinner, but I seem to be running into a recurring problem: many recipes require 2 cups of broth (or stock or consommé). 2 cups = 16 ounces.

there’s clearly a disconnect between recipe writers and canned broth (or stock or consommé) manufacturers because they seem to only make them in 14½ ounce cans. they make 32 ounce containers, but the next size down is 14½ ounces. what?

in retrospect, I suppose I could try shopping at more than two different locations for groceries before I go on a rant about it. but I got this far with this entry and there’s just no turning back at this point.
