So, apparently we're just going to have to let it slide. Because we live in Canada, it is against food regulations to sell un-enriched flour or anything made with it. In some ways I am relieved. The idea of having to get some crazy/expensive/hard to find ingredient to do the majority of our cooking was daunting to say the least. I'm still in a bit of panic mode, but at least a main ingredient isn't off the list. Before you tell me that Laura and Mary Ingalls ground their own flour in a coffee maker... I know. Ain't gonna happen.
Husband amused me.
"Suzie... this is just like that Pioneer show... you know, except without the farming, and raising livestock and living in a shack you built yourself through a Canadian winter"
So... not like it at all?
(He's refering to the show called "Pioneer Quest" which offered families $100,000 if they gave up real life for a year to live like early settlers. My all-time favourite episode was when one family had their barn catch fire and burn down, killing their giant pig. They subsequently buried the entire pig. I figured... pre-made bacon!)
Luckily, we have something early settlers didn't have (other than modern appliances, refrigeration, grocery stores, cars, etc)... THE INTERNET.
It's a valuable research source, and I think by using it, I'll be able to make the majority of things we used to eat. Minus Kraft Dinner of course, but I could likely make a Mac'n'cheese that is pretty darn good.
