A funny thing happened

As I have indicated, I am baking a few loaves of bread these days.

As it turns out, I needed another kilo of AP flour, was going to order more, but remembered that I had (3) 1kilo bags in the pantry. Happy days.

So, there I went, into the pantry, took down a bag, opened it in the kitchen, and there they were; those little tiny beetles I told you about. The top 1” of the bag was dark with them. Ugh! Tiny holes all over the outside of the bags. Ugh!

I already threw the flour bags out, but this is what it looked like when I opened the bag.

Do I even need to tell you that all 3 bags went into the organic bucket? I put the paper bags in there as well. Yuck. I think I’ll put out about a tablespoon of flour on the counter tonight, and see if I can entice any weevil family, and friends to a banquet, then eliminate them.

I have several kilos of bread flour in the pantry, but they are in clear sealed plastic bags, unaffected by the weevils. I have ordered more pint mason jars but here until next week. Until then, everything that’s in a paper bag will go into a glass jar.

Next week I’m going to sprout, dehydrate, and vacuum seal several kilos of my Einkorn berries that I bought a couple of years ago. They are very shelf stable, but more so after that whole process.

Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.

Please continue to pray for my family members, and me. Thanks.
