The challenge for December is Flour my friends, yes, in all varieties !
As we know, there are many types of flour, here is a list you can start with and if you can think of others, please add them in a post.
All-purpose flour, Almond, Amaranth, Barley, Bread, Buckwheat, cake, Chickpea, Coconut, Corn, Instant, Millet, Oat, Organic, Pastry,
Pumpernickle, Quinoa, Rice, Rye, Self-rising, Semolina, Sorghum, Soy, Spelt, Tapioca, Teff, Whole wheat....
What am I looking for ? Anything from cookies, pies, cakes, breads, pasta, pancakes, muffins, puddings, pizza, tortilla, scones, flatbreads, brownies, biscuits. It can be sweet , it can be savory, the choice is up to you, you're the boss !
I would be most happy to see quotes on flour, stories, puns, or any pearls of wisdom you may wish to offer on flour or your dish.
Frugal Poem : Flour Sack Underwear
When I was a Maiden fair,
Mama made our underwear.
With five tots & Pa's poor pay,
How could she buy us lingerie?
Monograms & fancy stitches
were not on OUR flour sack britches.
Panty waists that stood the test
With Gold Medal on the Chest.
Little pants the best of all
With a scene I still recall:
Harvesters were gleaning wheat
Right across the little seat.
Tougher than a grizzly bear
Was our flour sack underwear.
Plain or fancy, three feet wide,
stronger than a hippos hide.
Through the years each Jill & Jack
Wore this sturdy garb of sack.
Waste not, want not, we soon learned,
Penny saved, a penny earned.
Bedspreads, curtains, tea towels, too.
Tablecloths to name a few.
But the best beyond compare
was our Flour Sack Underwear!
