I recall being told point blank: if you make it at home, it will be cheaper, will have fewer calories, won't contain garbage you can't pronounce, and may well taste better even if you can't cook to save your life."

We had a choice and I took wood shop and made a nice lamp base. I am sadly lacking in a formal home ec education.

Whoa, high school? People had home ec in high school?? I had it in jr. high. One semester home ec, one semester "industrial arts." Industrial arts included both wood shop and drafting. I loved the drafting. Hated the wood part. But both of them were better than sewing or cooking in home ec -- sewing just sucked and while I liked cooking, I didn't like the group approach.
