I bake bread too, but can't offer help to anyone because my kiddo is a celiac and we've been gluten free for 15 years now.
Though one of the BEST investments I ever made was a quality bread machine.
It and my food dehydrator are golden in my house.

I don't really know where to post this but @Miss Lydia asked me to share the email I got from Tractor supply today.

But...but...paper towels. Are you suggesting PT is obsolete compared to TP?

Could be! You really shouldn’t flush PR, so that minimizes it utility.

 

[Wee Farmer Sarah]

Damn spellcheck. That was PT, not PR.

Self quarantine is what they're calling it now. My husband called it being a hermit since I retired. I don't care what it's called, I'm staying home with my girls. Lol

Who says we are staying sane?

I have never claimed sanity.

Don't do that because this virus. Meeting people to sell chickens is risky. I had plans to sell a lot, but unfortunately that's not happening now.

Apparently centrarchid advertised laying hens on Craigs List and sold all of them in a heartbeat. I predict an increase in flocks and gardens. Some good will come out of all of this.

Right Wing media likes to refer to the Corona virus and Covid-19 as Chinese or Wuhan Flu and WuFlu must be a version of that.

How repugnant.

Hey, this is great. It uses up those extra eggs we’ve been hoarding. Thank you.

I am not hoarding them I swears it! My girls just keep making them.

I made oatmeal cookies half with raisins and half with chocolate chips and walnuts.
Sour cream pound cake..... That uses 3 eggs and is great with Strawberries.....if anyone has strawberries.
