and am now trying to decide what picture to draw.
Bare feet. They're tricky to draw and you like them anyway.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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?
Yep. Like Cass said, the oils can make it go rancid.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.

My baking tends to just be for holidays and special occasions, so I freeze my flour and sugar between times. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, and it saves them from insect problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I guess I'll stop drawing the boobies and draw feet instead.
The boobies were looking good, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I go through flour like nobody's business, so I don't bother to freeze, generally. I do keep an eye on them, though, and I have dark cool storage.
