'Shells'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sadly, I need them enough for work that I may have to make a special trip out of the house for them, which will require getting dressed.
Have any colored paper stationery (or magazines, for that matter) that you could use as dividers until you have to take them elsewhere?
Ooh, the magazine thing is a good idea, Matt. I looked unsucessfully for colored paper, but didn't think of the magazines.
Yay, I can stay in my Jammies!
Have you no bobby pins, Lee?
Right. Like ANYbody has bobby pins anymore. What do people use for lockpicks these days?

The bobby pin still exists. It was a staple in my grocery cart when my daughter lived with me because she could lose a packs worth in a week. And that's like, 50?
ETA: Or I should say, it's still in heavier use than you realize.
Huh. What affects the gluten content?
The wheat used.
The wheat used.
So, it's not just the difference between say wheat, rye, barley, it's that there are different types of wheat out there. I guess I didn't think that through. It only makes sense as there's different types of rice and many other grains, so why not wheat?

Zackly. Specifically, winter and spring wheats are typically used for high-gluten flours (including bread flour and high-gluten flour, which is even higher in gluten and used for bagels) and summer wheat is used for soft flour. They're different varieties of wheat, and not just different growing seasons. All-purpose flour can be any blend of the two.
Wow. More to flour than I ever realized. I knew there were different growing seasons, I didn't realize that it might mean different varieties at the same time. You guys are the best reference material, I think I may delete my bookmark for Google.
While fighting valiantly to go to sleep last night, I caught an old CSI. The first one with Lady Heather. And who should be the wife of the guilty party but Kirsten from the OC. I swear, that show can take the six degrees in tv down to 2.
I need to clean. I need to do laundry. I need to grocery shop.
I have a sneaking suspicion I will do none of the above.
Cake flour is in boxes, not bags, which makes it harder to find. Look for a box about the size of a medium-sized box of Bisquick, brand name Softasilk.
