50 Pounds of Flour
On my birthday, exactly two months ago, I picked up a 50 lb. bag of Swany White organic unbleached flour at Just Food Co-op. Today, I scraped the bottom of the bag to make one last loaf of bread. I put in an order at the co-op yesterday for another 50 lb. bag. I know that the last bag made many loaves of bread and pizza crusts, pancakes and waffles, pie crusts and bagels and dinner rolls. At Clara's suggestion, this time I'm going to keep track of everything I make using that new bag of flour. What, exactly, can be made with fifty pounds of organic unbleached white flour? How many loaves of bread? How many pancakes? I know you want to know. Stay tuned for the rest of this winter to find out.

Spare me the excuses, Rob... do you realize what you are doing to your family with this uncontrolled consumption?
"But, dear, just this once? It's my birthday!" Please.
But anyway, I'll bite on the contest angle. How about... one really big loaf?
50 pounds of flour will make 10 regular loaves and 1 gigantic loaf...if you do it right.
