I was worried that I had put too much peppercorn in my stew, but I realized that it was because I hadn't eaten anything but fruit all day and I was attempting to devour the stew while it was still in its molten lava stage.

I bought some Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Wheat Flour the other day, and used that to thicken the stew. It says on the package that the flour keeps best refrigerated or frozen. Anyone refrigerate their crunchy granola hippie flour?

Way to go, CJ!

Emmett and I just watched Get Me To the Greek on DVD again.

It's very funny and merits rewatch. Plus Elisabeth Moss is kind of adorable insisting on a threeway.

Anyone refrigerate their crunchy granola hippie flour?

Also I do because I use very little flour and I don't have to worry about bugs if I store it there.

I'm going to mix up some Jello pudding tonight for breakfast tomorrow and the next few days.

What y'all just said about flour going rancid makes me glad I'm tossing out my old flour and sugar.

I do. The natural oils can go rancid.

Huh. Good to know, thanks! Well, I've also got some Bob's Red Mill polenta and bulgur that probably should go in the refrigerator with the flour.

I just refrigerate all my flour b/c there's always more space in the fridge.

I freeze all my flour except the half a bag of all-purpose that fits in the canister.

I improvised some potato pancakes out of leftover mashed potatoes - more like regular pancakes than latkes, but tasty.
