The struggle is real ...
So a couple of weeks I had the urge for cookies and I wanted to try to make them on my own from scratch since that is something I've never done and thought I could or at least try it. What do I need first? Flour! Ok I had some but not enough, no problem I will go to the store and look for some. I did not realize this would be more difficult than finding toilet paper. I have been to multiple stores and all their shelves have been empty for over a week now of all flour except those with no gluten or like rice flour. I've never worked with other flours except the regular all-purpose and also those other flours are about 10x more! Not a time to either experiment or trial and error with. I did find some flour at one place, lots in fact but the problem was, they were in 50 pound bags! It was a store for like restaurant supplies and their small 2 to 5 lbs bags were all gone. I still have a craving for cookies but bought some packaged one for now.
Weekly Update:
Not sure if this bugs anyone else but it sure bugs me ... so I do drink bottled water for the most part and I prefer Arrowhead. There is a taste difference as most have an after taste, Arrowhead (to me) doesn't. But that isn't what bugs me, what bugs me is I sometimes get those little togo packets you put in one of those bottles. 99% of them are sugar-free so it's great! They have great flavor and things like cherry and grape are usually the best. Maybe pineapple or a general fruit punch. But what bugs me is when you pour them in, there are usually some clumps and they either take forever to break-up or never dissolve and just seems like a waste. For something that is made for liquid, I would think they would figure out how to make them dissolve both faster and better.
At the movies:
Due to theatres being closed for the time being, no new updates for movies at this time.
