Were you buying 50 pound for $20.00?

Oops, again I miswrote. The price was $23.25 for a 50# sack of GM 50111.

That's a cheaper flour than most other bread flours. It is about the only one
available around here that is bromated. The dealer (a food service company)
is far enough away so the price of a gallon of gas needs to be figured in.

My other dealer (Savage, previously of Waltham, MA) has moved further
away from me (to Framingham) (2-gallon round trip). Learning that, I became
desperate and called a number at the GMFlour web site where some one found
for me a closer dealer. I don't know why I never thought of doing that before.

As times get bad and stuff falls into short supply, I find myself cogitating upon
the mathematics of dough fermentation, which are not unlike the rules that
predict the destiny of any population of living beings, like us, for instance.

In conclusion, I would like to recommend that we all send emails to the Wash.,
D.C. news agencies to have their reporters ask the candidates if they have
considered the repercussions of steady population growth, and if they have
any idea about what might be done to offset those dire consequences.

Hey, check that stuff out before chiding me for the poisonous stuff in my bread
flour.
