Blimey again. I usually have one each bag of whole wheat, bread, and all
purpose flour in canisters for ready use and another bag of each in the
freezer. Living in a warm climate I learned early on to freeze grains
for a week and then sift the weevils out. They get into the flour at the
factory or the market but I don't want bread, rolls, or biscuits with
little black specks in it. <G>
