      Did you not get bothered by the fact that the husband put the bagels on a random shelf and didn’t go put them back in the bakery just so they can make money to film inside Costco but yet they don’t care about Costco‘s dollar by putting the bagels on a random shelf, totally unacceptable. I think we should all say something

    Just found you b/c of the pantry challenge. I’m sure you’ll LOVE using fresh milled wheat, but be prepared to do things a bit differently. I switched to FMW about a year ago and can’t imagine ever going back, but had to relearn some baking techniques. Grains in Small Places is my favorite YT channel and website for recipes and techniques. I was just telling a friend today… when you switch to fresh milled, you need to change your expectations. The texture and flavor is going to be different than with store bought flour; outstanding but different.
    And your tummy soothers taste like licorice because of the fennel seed. I grow fennel and save the seeds to chew/swallow for heartburn; almost always provides instant relief.

      I’ve heard great things about grains in small places website. I’ll have to check out the TH-cam channel. I am really excited to start this journey. Also I had no idea about the fennel seeds. I will see if maybe I can grow some this year. I love the taste of licorice ( that’s probably why I love the tummy soothers lol)

    Just a suggestion - baking powder is so simple to make, 1 tsp of cream of tartar mixed with 1/2 tsp baking soda. You can easily scale up or down and the lift you get is astounding. I used to use the canned but after using this recipe, I will never gi back. Since you're making it fresh every time, there is no worry about it not working.

      @brandibizzle3676 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have that attachment and not sure I like it. I want to like it bc like you said, it’s a much cheaper option. Maybe I haven’t practiced enough to learn how to make bread with fresh milled wheat. I’m glad to see someone likes it…that gives me hope!

      @Kourtnie_Marie 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@brandibizzle3676I want to invest in a grain mill eventually, because the attachment does have its downsides. For example, if I want super fine flour, I mill the grains twice. Right now the attachment is sufficient for my needs and a nice gateway to using wheat berries.

    If you’re considering the nutrimil brand of flour mill consider purchasing now. They have announced they’re increasing their prices, I think after the first. I have their classic mill and have had it for years. It’s a great product. Their wood ones are beautiful but the classic is very functional.

      I purchased the classic one also. They had them $50 off and thought it’s probably best to get it while on sale. I didn’t know they were increasing in cost so definitely glad i bought it now. It should be here in the next couple days and I can’t wait to use it !

    $11.89 for 20 almond tortillas? Get outta here, Costco! Just did a big stock up of staple items from grocery store and Amazon and the challenge is how long I can stretch it all through 2025 as a single person. For first 3 months of 2025 I am setting my grocery/eating out budget down to $50/month. I'll just need some fresh produce - maybe some coffee. I think being more aware of want vs. need in the store and buying zero processed/added sugar junk helps you budget and your health.

    Wow I was excited to watch your channel, but once I started, and I saw your husband put the bagels back on the shelf and not put them back in the bakery. I am totally upset and will not watch your channel or support it. Why would you not take it back and put it in the right place so Costco doesn’t have to do the work and the food could get ruined also you can make money off of Costco by fillingtotal lack of integrity.
