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.

IIRC, king arthur's has a mail catalog. although i suspect they won't deliver the sort of size you're looking for, you might be able to get by in the meantime.

I know about the catalog; I've never thought it likely to be worth ordering their plain white flour from it, though; with shipping and all, it ends up pricier and taking longer than just buying a small bag to tide me over to next week...

Heh. I must stop by there sometime.

BTW, would you like me to get you a huge bag from the local Costco?

I'm planning to get flour at P & P this coming week, and it should work out, thanks. If you happen to see grape juice, though...

Alas, the only grape juice they have is Newman's Own, no hexure.
