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.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

I dislike this plan.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Back from singing outside, and there wasn't even a Christmas tree! I didn't freeze to death, though, so I guess it's a win.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY for not freezing, Dana!
I dislike this plan.

Me too! Hec is WRONG, and should not be listened to.

In the process of finding room in my refrigerator for flour, polenta, and bulgur, I kind of... took everything out and cleaned almost the entire refrigerator. And did a quick purge of stuff from the refrigerator and cupboard.
I may already be avoiding Yuletide.
