Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So who is buying flour?

Went to the regular grocery store today; first time since 03/30. Didn't look for flour, but yeast and baking powder were nowhere to be seen. Some Bisquik and other self-rising stuff was there, but we have that.

The little woman bakes cakes, scones, etc following recipes on YouTube.

BTW, fresh meat like chicken and burger was one of a type to a customer. Stuff like sausage, bacon, scrapple, hot dogs wasn't marked like that. Bought a nice spiral-sliced ham for $.99 a pound, one whole organic fryer, a pack of thighs, and pork chops. Got a lot of deer burger left, so didn't even look at that, but steaks and roasts were missing, unless they were all in the butcher's display.

strange , yeast is naturally in flour , you can easily make your own.

Well...not out to the sand. The beach was closed (for our own safety)

So the machine stayed on the counter in the condo.

LMFAO!

Yep, 25lb sacks for the bee's also.

Stores here are very low on flour also.. For years I've been wanting to learn how to make breads.. Tried the 'bread flour' that local stores stock... What crap. Went to a site called "Breadtopia" - and THAT place is a flour-lovers garden of Eden.. Local bread flour - 10% protein.. Breadtopia - up to 14% protein, some are even higher... Makes beautiful loaves..

The young ones don’t fizzle,

Plenty of flour and sugar on the shelves in NW MT. I noticed chili beans were getting thin. I haven't been to costco for a while, but a couple of local grocers and a restaurant wholesale place that sells bulk stuff. There has been plenty of everything the last few weeks.

Made peach cobble yesterday and,.....................

If we ever meet I wanna party wit youse guyzz . Dunno if I'll be able to keep up.

Peace brother.

This. There's a LOT of free-time cooking ad baking going on. A crap ton.

Try finding a bread machine.

I saw the flour & yeast get wiped out when this all started and have seen both in stock just once about a week ago, last weekend nothing.
I don't eat a lot of bread so I just go get a loaf out of the bread aisle and throw it in the freezer.
The first week was a little crazy trying to find bread but after that I haven't had any problems buying bread.
I have a feeling there are a lot of people hoarding flour and yeast that are going to end up throwing it away.

Since eating has always been one of my favorite things, cooking was going to be a prerequisite for the Mrs. status around here. I suppose the wife is buying that stuff then. Case in point last week we were down to our last two homemade chocolate chip cookies and there was another double batch in the oven that afternoon.

Wife hasn’t been able to touch a bag of white flour at the store since the end of the world.

It was like every household had bought their kids an EZ Bake Oven and had to make sure it was well stocked with flour.

😎

Gee, I don't know, I use maybe 15 pounds a year if I do holiday baking. There's a place in town that makes much better bread than I do and has first call on flour supplies. Iit's called a bakery. Novel idea, stick to what you do well.

Well, I didn’t say *I* was doing the ‘gram, tweets, and FB.

Then again, we’re all on “social media” right here.

Something tells me you are sitting in your single wide in just your Haines whitey tighties. Grape jelly smothered on your chest and you scraping it off with a bagel.. washing it down with some buttermilk, telling your wife aliens kidnapped you..

I got 40KG bags of sugar here but I ain’t baking with it.
Don’t need yeast iffen you got sour mash.

I did buy a bag of bagels the other day.

Call em everything bagels. Pretty good!
