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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am not. I am working, with periodic stops to come in here and read LJ.
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.

If you can't find any, ita, let me know, and maybe I can give you mine. I have almost a full box.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My parents have cake flour in a bag, I'm pretty sure. FY not-very-useful I.
I just "helped" a friend move. Being the truck watcher is the best job ever.
I should be washing my floors, since I finally bought a bucket yesterday, but I don't wanna. Eh.

Huh.
It has been estimated that during a one-week period, a cruise ship may produce approximately eight tons of solid waste, one million gallons of graywater, 210,000 gallons of sewage, and 25,000 gallons of bilgewater.
Gah.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I never knew the difference between cake flour and regular flour. But I just got back from the grocery and found that it carries not one, but two different brands of cake flour. Top shelf.

Pretty rough, but it's not as if all that wouldn't be getting back into the environment anyway.

I think you're being overoptimistic. A lot of that is generated not by the passengers themselves but by cruise ship operations. Also, there's a ton of food waste generated by cruise ships, like for instance from those midnight buffets. A friend of mine used to be a cruise ship photographer, and she said they would throw the untouched food overboard, because once it's been on the table it can't be re-used.
Things may have changed, but there's a reason both states and federal governments are passing laws regulating cruise ship discharge.
