As a side note….

She wanted me to take the breadmaker to Goodwill.

Wellll…she just wanted “stuff” out of her house.

So I took her breadmaker over to my house.

In 2020, during the height of the covid bullshit, you could not find any yeast on the store shelves.

I also had a hard time finding that Clubber Lang Clabber Girl baking powder.

Sooo…. If you’re gonna stock up now on flour, you might as well stock up on yeast and baking powder.

That's the current system.  Beef can be raised on only grass.  

Mother nature didn't give a cow four stomachs so that it could properly digest corn.  Modern man decided on the current feedlot finishing process, which I wouldn't be surprised to see evolve over time.

Weird, that's not what mine (KJV) says:

In the time of King James (who commissioned the version of the Bible) a penny a day was a normal working wage.
 Thanks for clarifying. I just checked back into this thread. Other translations are more clear but the gist is the same, work all day for a day's food.

Yeah, and also work on some recipes for baking whole grain bread. Far different than the processed flour, much better for you too.

I have about 100 lbs of cheap Costco flour I'm still working thru so have just been dabbling with the whole wheat stuff.

Your whole wheat bread isn't going to come out looking like this bread flour Sourdough loaf I made a couple days ago:

Attachment Attached File


Attachment Attached File


On the Sourdough/yeast discussion, anyone looking to jump until that should try this starter I got off Amazon. It took 2-3 weeks and several loafs to really take off, but is now making real deal Sourdough:

Cultures for Health San Francisco Sourdough Style Starter Culture | Homemade Artisan Bread | Heirloom, non-GMO | Live Culture Bread Mix | Easy to Follow Recipe

It comes in a small foil packet supposedly good for 5 years too. I'm gonna buy a couple spares to set back in case I kill this one and need to repitch.

Very important that you only use non-chlorinated water! Costco bottled water seems to work well.

That headline sounds scary until you consider that the US is less than 10 weeks away from harvesting our wheat crop.


Stocks of stored grain on hand always dwindle steadily through consumption before another buildup at harvest.


I expect to harvest my wheat the last week in June, maybe a little sooner than that.

Flour has time limitations of 1 or 2 years, so stocking much can be problematic.

Wheat berries last a long time but you need a grinder.

Yeast can die on you. Had it happen.

Don't sell it short.  1 to 2 years gets you on the far side of this mess.  It will probably be working itself out in 2 years, or that gives you 2 years to work on retooling.

I agree that it's not the best answer, but it is acceptable for short term.
