There's a high-end "farmer's market" store near me that carries lots of specialty ingredients, naturopath items, items for various diet types, and high end products in the "normal" range (the flour made by Bob's Red Mill, for example). I found some of the gluten free bread I was looking for and checkout is eye-watering. $10 and more a loaf. I picked up one loaf and it's in the freezer. I'll be near an HEB grocery store in the next county (across the street from my dentist, where I have a cleaning tomorrow) and will shop there; online they show up as carrying some of the same breads, but will probably be less expensive.

That said, I spent about $40 on a dozen of the non-wheat flours, and plan to look up some of the formulas for different mixes. While standard wheat flour is in yeast breads, quick breads, muffins, pancakes, etc., there are different mixes of the non-wheat flour to accomplish the different outcomes. And where gluten is absent, sometimes adding other items to approximate it. Xanthan gum, psyllium fiber, etc. I ran several of the airtight canisters (ex-pasta) through the dishwasher last night and as I take the flour out of the freezer will decant into these with the labels in each canister.

Patty, how close are you to closing on the new house? What have you learned about your new neighborhood? Does the house have the usual amenities - water, electric, phone? Is it on a well or a municipal water system? Septic tank? Solar panels, wind turbine, etc? Internet?
