The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

You are very welcome. My cousin told me about it. My aunt is 98 years old, and my cousin is her caregiver. When my cousin expressed concern about having to grocery shop, because she couldn't get a time slot, the cashier told her about checking it around midnight. She told me about it.

Well, well, well, have you heard that some places are not allowing you to buy seeds? They are placing them in an area of the store labeled "non-essential". So, you can't pay cash for seeds that way, you'd have to buy online so there is a record of you buying seeds for your garden. All this seems pretty ominous to me. Never are garden seeds non-essential, never, ever. Seed-saving is crucial and when you do buy, buying heirloom seeds so that you can makes it possible to do so.

Our hardware store still has them sitting out, and they were out and available at TSC. I wonder if that is just ignorant store managers who don't understand that people actually grow food for themselves?

Hope you guys check out my entry in the edible Easter contest I could use some moral support, first time I've ever entered

Your cookies are adorable, Mary. Now, I want cookies.

Well good luck finding the ingredients! no flour available in the stores here, and my corn syrup is on its last few drops. I did not want to go to the store just to pick up one thing so I'm glad I had enough for this batch.

And thanks, I thought they turned out really well. I do have food coloring all over my fingers though.

No problem there. We keep several bags each of self rising, all purpose and bread flour in the downstairs freezer all the time.

They did, super cute!

Since I basically gave up eating anything made with flour, and almost everything made with sugar, I keep very little of those around. These shortages are just another minor aggravation though to the whole situation.

I just can't find a box of Bisquik anywhere. I should look online for a recipe

I spent today outside mid 70's. Hung out with the flock, my hubby made me 4x4 garden boxes so we spent the day filling one. There;s a few things I need to plant temporarily but I can't wait to stick seeds in the ground.
