Oh, PF, how awful to be exposed through someone else's carelessnes. I'm pretty mad, too [emoji35] I hope it doesn't get too bad among your patients. Hugs.

Interesting couple of days.
Like many others, our supermarket chain has established special early hours for older customers. We decided to take advantage of that on Thursday morning. We got up early, 5:00AM, in hopes of getting there when there was still product on the shelves. Got out to the car to find that the battery was dead. Oh well, change of plans. Later that day I got the car taken care of.
This morning we gave it another try, not as early in the day. The store was not crowded. The shelves were well-stocked except for cleaning supplies. Our plan is that we won't have to shop again for two weeks.
We had a conversation with the store manager. He's had to change the way he manages his staff. The store chain cannot get cleaning supplies in the quantities they want/need. They may get ten percent of an order and that has to go for all the stores.
He said the Board of Health calls every couple of days to check on their needs.
Costco has special hours for those over 60. I think its Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 8-9am. I would call your local warehouse to verify.
Seems like the best choice as the local grocery is not stocked well at all.
I thought they had more until I was looking for more.
What is the matter with people? Did they not understand that they were supposed to be isolating if they have been in contact with someone diagnosed with covid-19? Did they not believe it was important? Will they lose pay if they don't show up for work and can't afford that?
In any case PF, I'm sorry you have possibly been exposed. Sending positive vibes that you didn't catch anything.
This quote has both amusing and frightening components
PF, it completely sucks that someone else's ignorance or inconsideration has impacted your life and the lives of those you love, both family and at work. I say shoot the dummies. I hope this amounts to nothing more than a short inconvenience. Worrisome, but just an inconvenience if you all come out on the other side of 14 days OK.
msmofet, I saw in the dinner thread for tonight that you mentioned your DD now having a fever. I hope it's nothing more than a flu bug. A very small, weak, flu bug.

So far so good, but it could take up to 5-11 days to manifest itself.
MsM, lots of hot fluids, vitamin C, everybody washing your hands!
And vitamin D for people in the northern hemisphere not getting enough sunlight. Lots of us are Vitamin D deficient and infection patterns seem to be worse in areas of Vitamin D deficiency.
I think all starters will change to what is in your area in terms of bacteria content.
Are you looking for a white sourdough bread recipe? Be sure to try some multi grain recipes as they are quite tasty.
From what I understand, sourdough starter will change character over time because of the yeasts in the air wherever its kept.
Thanks. Here's the "Sourdough from Start to Finish" episode from Bake with Jack: https://youtu.be/vmb0wWKITBQ
Sourdough changes character because of the yeasts in the air where it's kept. The acids created by the yeast kill the bacteria - you don't want that growing in your starter. It's like with kimchi and sauerkraut - the acids keep the bacteria in check so it doesn't cause food poisoning.
Our supermarket and nearest Costco are in NH. They have instructed stores to have senior hours every day. We haven't run into larger than normal croups whenever we've gone shopping. In fact, fewer people than usual.
People were making sourdough bread long before King Arthur Flour existed ; I've been using Kroger brand flour for most of my bread-making and it works fine. I occasionally buy KA bread flour, but that's for specialty breads.Yes and Yes. I plan to try both. Thanks
Thanks GG. I finally was able to watch it.
On Friday, my friend brought me the starter his wife made. Into the fridge it went. Her instructions.
However, I took one teaspoon of the starter, and put it my mason jar. Added two heaping tbls of flour and just enough water to mix it into a thick batter consistency.
I have removed some and fed it each day. Friday and Saturday on the counter in my warm kitchen.
It has now wanted to come out of the quart mason jar its so active. I think it could be used now. But I'm gonna feed it today and then tomorrow. And into the fridge it will go.
I do not have any KA Flour and want to wait to make my first loaf or rolls.
I think I am now getting this. Its really cool, except for all the feeding!
Same here. Ghost town and still no flour, bread and other things like sour cream. Now I have my own bread. But I need some flour.
NO wipes at the entrance either!
They must be hoarding early in the day. I still feel like I'm a rock star and don't get out until afternoon...LOL
