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.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

If I only had a brain...
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.

I actually do have bobby pins, as well. Maybe I will use them for the next set of documents.

The board is quiet today. I hope people are out having interesting days.

I am not. I am working, with periodic stops to come in here and read LJ. A long holiday weekend? Not the time to post a lot of fic, I gotta say.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow, I didn't know all that about wheat. As someone who has trouble with wheat gluten, this is very good information to have! Also, explains why I dislike bagels, and they dislike me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Years ago I worked in a bakery. We only used organic flour - it varied quite a lot from week to week, so the person doing the bread dough mixing always had their hands full adjusting the recepies to compensate.

Me too, Consuela. I was going to walk across the street and get gumbo, as well, but now it is all cloudy and rainlike again, so I may not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did another scan of the shelves of my local Ralph's, and ... no cake flour. I have a couple days before I start baking, so I may just try going alternative and upscale shopping, and seeing if that works.
I just got back from krav. Assisted in one class, taught another (yay!), and took the third. A little tired. But I have chai teabags, and I think I will be doing a lot of lying around and watching more Twilight Zone.
