I just received an email from KAF saying that the order I placed last week has shipped. Looks like I got it in just in time. It's not a big order, 9 pounds of flour, but it's enough to last me a while.

Makes me wonder, who many home bread bakers are there. Maybe a lot of people are brushing the dust off of their bread machines.

I usually buy a pound of SAF Gold once a year, in the late fall, from KAF. I still have several months supple in the container that I'm working from and an unopened pound in the basement freezer. A pound lasts me at least a year.

I got it wrong. I should have known there would be a twist to it.

That's a lot of snow, BakerAunt. We got snow here too but it melts on the pavement, it's only sticking on grass and other vegetation.

Tonight I made pizza again, and a piece of cake for dessert. So, I guess you can say I had pie and cake for dinner.

BakerAunt, when I use the bagel topping, I press it in real hard after I shape the rolls.

I forgot to say I added 1/4 almond flour to the cake mix. I really can't taste any almond but the cake turned out pretty good.

Eggs are one of the things I haven't had difficulty getting.

I made a cake from a mix, (BRM gluten free) it's a vanilla cake but I added a teaspoon of cake spice from The Spice House (sadly, they no longer make that blend), I did make the chocolate frosting from scratch. The cake calls for 1/2 cup of melted butter or veg oil, I used 1/4 cup of peanut oil and 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. It says to wait for the cake to cool before frosting but I frosted it warm because it spreads easier. It's still cooling right now so I have to wait to sample it.

I can't find rice. I have some in the house but not as much as I would like.

I made a pizza tonight, plain ground beef and cheese. I have some KAF Italian style flour that I need to use up, it's not my preferred pizza flour as it makes a softer crust. I used 25% each white whole wheat and semolina with the balance being the Italian style. It came out pretty good. I have enough dough for a repeat tomorrow.

I knew it from some cooking show, may have been Alton Brown's.

I had spaghetti with ground beef.

I bought a bag of Almond Flour from KAF, my plan is to add a little to baked goods like cake mix. My question is, do I need to add more liquid to the mix when adding the almond flour? I'm thinking about adding 1/4 cup.

The order I placed with KAF last week arrived today, 5 lbs of AP and 10 lbs of bread flour. Add that to 5 lbs of white whole wheat I was able to get from Whole Foods last week, plus the rye and semolina I bought in February, I'm OK for a while.

I had a delivery yesterday from Whole Foods, they showed 5 pound bags of AP in stock (the 365 brand) so I ordered one but then it turned into an out of stock.

The order I place this week with KAF still has not shipped, so I have a feeling I won't be getting it, not for a while anyway.

Those look real nice, Mike.

Not being a big cheese person, I missed it.

Today I had leftover pork and sweet potatoes. A nice easy meal.
