This all started because I woke up with a headache. I took some of Gary’s Migrane Excederin. You know what’s in that? Caffeine. I’ve been off the C-Drug for years. It hit me hard.
Then I saw that longtime blog reader Catherine made this …
… and of course I had to search “King Arthur Flour Cinnamon Star” to find the recipe and some video demonstrations. The recipe suggests you use potato flour.
This is where things really went of the rails.
It called for potato flour, but I opted to use the substitute, Potato Buds, because yet another type of flour would have maxed out my Flour Palette. Cake four, bread flour, pastry flour, whole wheat versions of each, a bleached and unbleached version of each, plus almond flour and oatmeal flour. But, no potato flour.
So then I thought, “Why not have every type of flour? It’s Christmas. Treat yourself!” I was as high a bipolar methhead on LSD. Caffeine! So to organize all my flours I went to Tupperware.com and bought almost all of the Modular Mates sizes. How much did I spend? I am ashamed to say this, but I think it’s an important step in my recovery: I spent over almost $200. I know. I’m calling them Monday at 7:30 am to cancel, if I can, otherwise i’m eating the shipping costs and sending it back.
Why send it back? Because my caffeine high only crashed after I went to eBay and got more of it used, for much less money (plus much more tasty, tasty BPA since I’m sure its all thirty years old). Sellers across the country are shipping me Tupperware modules in the discontinued Hunter Green. Only, I can’t say if I’m even close to having the number I need because I ordered and cancelled so many eBay orders that I can’t tell what’s coming. I can’t tell, people.
I can see why the Mormons banned the bean. It will F you up.
