The grocerystore shelves of flour were all wiped out. Was that because of survivalist, or foodie thinking?
Everybody hoarded up white flour, and I've got to wonder whether that was a product of amateur prepper thinking about how flour was a staple food, or did the foodies think "I've finally got some time to try to my hand at some serious baking!"
The only one that wasn't wiped out was the White Wings tortilla mix, and considering the Hispanic neighborhood, I'm surprised, they wiped out the pinto beans down to the dust at the bottom of the bin! I wanted white flour to make a roux, but _no_beans_. So I got tortilla mix which was still in good supply, okay for a roux, and now I'm trying to make some sweet potatoe empanadas.
So guys, POLL : Did you buy some white flour to survive, or to pursue some fancy baking, or some kind of combination of the two?
