The flour (part two) OR the point of this blog

Why, you may wonder, are you reading this blog? Well, on this end, it's "Why, I may wonder, am I writing this blog?" Well, credit Julie and Julia (great movie - likely to spawn tons of wannabe blogger-writers. Like me. Don't like it? Move on to the next one). To answer this, here's the flour, in its raw form. I transfer about 5 lb aliquots to a large Rubbermaid container (because 25 lbs of flour is REALLY HARD to manipulate in a kitchen the size of a mousetrap). Since I made the trip to get the stuff, I decided I wanted to remember what I had done with it. My first approach was the Post-It on the lid of the container - a quick note about what I made, along with the date. Straightforward, but not very entertaining. So, with the infinite storage space of the internet, I decided to try this blogging thing. In this age of all things digital, its trivial to shoot a pic, pop it up here, and write a couple of maudlin sentences about whatever is I manufactured, and get on with my day.
