So it may come. The soft refers to a classification. The different varieties can be described by wheat breeders and farmers in terms of growing season, such as winter wheat vs. spring wheat, by gluten content, such as hard wheat (high protein content) vs. soft wheat (high starch content), or by grain color (red, white or amber).<br /><br />Thanks Sarah.

I still haven't opened a 5Kg bag of rice I purchase about 6 months ago when I thought a jar (where I store the rice) would run out in no time!<br /><br />I guess that is the same reason I don't have a Costco membership card. I mean, there is only that much toilet paper I can store/use... :)KimHohttp://imonlyhereforthefood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511467128635560431.post-16627674927005310772009-12-01T18:32:23.402-07:002009-12-01T18:32:23.402-07:00I'm so all over this.

I can easily see, like Costco, how you could leave with things you don't need. I picked up some powered milk and mixed peel for my Panettone and Stollen holiday baking. Another trip up to Ben's? Things are good with that then?<br /><br />I actually just discovered Anthropologie a few weeks back. Some great finds for sure. I loved the old school 'china' like measuring spoons.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079593868111830799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511467128635560431.post-84967330817436543232009-11-28T21:00:01.518-07:002009-11-28T21:00:01.518-07:00Edmonton now has two stores I am very very envious...Edmonton now has two stores I am very very envious about. Bulk Barn is a great concept and sadly missing in Calgary.<br /><br />Yes, there are savings galore. Same as with COSTCO, stay away from things you don't need. <br /><br />I am running a delivery to Ben's Meats right after my trip and plan to check out Bulk Barn.<br /><br />The other store is Anthropologie.H.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985020213976356036noreply@blogger.com
