Food wilderness; or how to keep my yeast a beast

It's Thursday.  Got that?

I took a couple days off.   Or, rather, I didn't feel the impulse to write.  It happens.

But I've been thinking A LOT about eating.  From my Twitter timeline, lots of people are thinking about food.

Where to start?  Let's start with dumb ideas.

I saw someone who wanted to make pancakes with 3 ingredients.  Cottage cheese, oatmeal, and egg. 

That is NOT a pancake!

Which leads to this observation: because of worries about food, there's a lot of people whipping up concoctions from what is "in the pantry."  Right.

Did you see the picture from the person who predicted what we'd be eating in Week 30 of Stay At Home?   A tortilla with peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, a pickle, and a raw hot dog.  Aka red neck sushi. 

I guess there's an app where you put in these items in your pantry and they give you a recipe.  (is this what you get when you put in hot dog, pickle, marshmallow fluff, etc?  or cottage cheese, egg, oatmeal?)

None of it seems all that edible.

Then there's this big question: why is everyone baking bread?

Seriously.

You know, you can walk down the aisle in the grocery store and get good bread, cheap?  Right?

Yet here are all these people uploading pictures of loaves of (not particularly appealing) bread.  In odd shapes and colors.

And tweet after tweet about how to find, keep, retain, etc, yeast starter.   This is why we buy it in the store.  😵

Here in town, there's even a taco truck that has opened.  Ironically (or maybe not), it has a hand printed sign that says "carryout only."  On a taco truck.

I have to end there.  We are all lost in a food wilderness. 

Till next time.
