Striiiiike 2!

After stopping at Russo's for a produce infusion, I managed to find the Watertown Paper and Provisions, which is quite close by, practically around the corner (though the cashier at Russo's couldn't give me any directions at all). I went in, and there were two familiar guys, from the Somerville store (RIP). We chatted a bit, and then headed to get flour, pretty much the only thing I really needed to get today (but I already knew I'd have to go back and browse; they have more stuff than the Somerville store had...). And, lo and behold, no flour. Again. Very frustrating. Had I wanted bleached flour, or self-rising flour (that sounds like a horror flick for bakers), or corn meal, I could've had all I wanted. But no King Arthur never bleached, never bromated white flour (Apparently some people had come in that morning and bought all they had). And there was no time to start scurrying around for substitutes; I had to get home and get dinner started. Quick juggling of menu.

There had better be a bag of flour there next time...

PS Wolf, the guy at P & P sent his regards.
