How are things going? What's good, what's not good, what do you feel like sharing?

Good: My adult daughter has been in quarantine for 2 weeks, but tomorrow she gets to come home & will be with us for the duration, however long this lasts.

Less Good: Can’t seem to get flour anywhere. I always bake my own whole wheat bread and cook pretty much all meals at home even when not self isolating, but I did not buy too much extra, and we will run out soon. Same for a few other special-diet items. I didn’t want to be a hoarder, but I worry about food supply chain as I have tried online many times and several local stores.

Bad: I can’t visit my mom. She is 800 miles away and also very vulnerable. (But less bad: She lives with my sister and two of my adult nephews and they have my grandnephew there for the duration because his mom has to work, and I know that will make my mom happy. They are still okay for now. Also, both my nephews are still able to work—alone—so they are not too vulnerable and hopefully are helping keep themselves and my mom and sister safe.)

Hooray for families being able to spend time together.

If I had flour I'd mail it to you.

If you're willing to do mail order and you're in the US, nuts.com has a lot of different kinds of flours, including ordinary wheat flour, pretty inexpensively with quick shipping.

Yay for getting to be with your daughter and knowing your mom is not alone, even though she's not with you.

You could try the glutenfree com for bread recipes - GF flour might be easier to get hold of?
