Add All Purpose Flour to the list of items that are hard to find in the store.

So I made a banana bread yesterday with self-rising flour. Looked beautiful! Then I put it on the counter to rest and it fell like a souffle.

1. At Albertsons

Flour... sugar ...baking goods all gone.
Frozen treats ..meat free stuff all gone.
Mac and cheese, canned chicken gone
Most pet foods. Cat litter all gone.
Soups sparce frozen anything lacking.
Not even a donut.
Funny there were tons of fruit and veggies.

2. How disappointing. I made some the other days using this recipe.

It was really good without being as sweet as many recipes. I don't know how well it would work with self rising flour, however.

5. Thank you.

I need to compare measurements for bananas. The bananas were perfectly aged and I probably didn't make my situation better by adding half of another banana. But the recipe was not in cups. It said, three bananas.

6. I didn't measure my bananas. I had 4 so that's what I used.

3. Bummer. Does it still taste good?

4. The edges look good. But I just got up and need to wake up first.

7. ALDI sells all-purpose flour

Trouble is, that’s often the only kind they have in stock.

8. That's the second time that Aldi has come up as a good option for

hard to find items. They also had Balsmati long grain.

9. ALDI is a German company

and as such, they sometimes seem out-of-step with American shopping habits, as in the lack of self-rising flour I mentioned (no sugar-free ice cream is another). The problems are minor, however, and it’s our go-to store for most of our pantry staples.

10. We aren't hoarding, we are baking.

It’s fun.
