45 minutes after opening, stores around here sell out of flour. Managed to get a 5lb bag of unbleached all-purpose at Trader Joe's; they don't even sell whole wheat flour anymore.

This loaf is 15% whole wheat, for flavor, better crust color, and also because I'm trying to stretch my AP flour.

So far, my favored local cafe/roaster is still open for business and surviving. I bought a couple bags of their coffee and some new espresso cups. Would hate to see them close their doors for good. Plus, the owner's always been good to me. I'd lose a good source of green coffee if his company disappeared.
