More ~ma headed your way from San Francisco. I'm glad you've got such good people loving and cosseting you.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
My only snow grocery wish item is wheat flour, because I made a loaf of bread that was FAIL. My success rate is much lower on wheat for some reason. Everything else I`m still pretty good on.
I attempted to use a buckwheat and spelt flour mix to make bread yesterday. It came out looking like badly-risen flapjack. Possibly more yeast next time.
Much ongoing ~ma, Jilli.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have never mastered spelt. Everything I've made with it tasted like ass on rye.

I can do spelt - the trick seems to be the amount of salt and sugar that goes in. It's better mixed with another flour. Although apparently not buckwheat, as the brick on my kitchen counter testifies.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mmmm ass on rye.
I would mix in spelt for half the white flour in recipes with fairly good success. The weirdness I found was that things would go bad much faster. Muffins would get soggy and sour on the inside.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Snow day! Which they didn't announce until I went to bed, but for some reason I woke up at 5:30, so I checked then, and went back to bed until 8:45! Sweet!! It doesn't look like there is that much snow on the ground yet, but it is coming down hard. And almost horizontally.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY Snow Day!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Boston took all our snow last night!
Which is actually fine because the 6 inches we got is enough to make everything pretty again but not enough to close schools.
