"Flour reaches bakeries in Gaza's Deir al-Balah" [ ± 1-3 min]
by MiddleEastEye

Quote by MEE:
"May 22, 2025
Gaza-based journalist Tareq Abu Azzoum reported on Thursday that bakeries supported by the World Food Programme (WFP) had resumed limited operations after an 11-week blockade forced them to halt.
It came after Israel allowed 90 aid trucks into Gaza the day beforehand amid intense international pressure to lift its siege of the strip, where 58 people have died from malnutrition and 242 due to a lack of food and medicine.
Israel said it would allow "basic" aid into Gaza for "diplomatic reasons" amid backlash from the roughly 53 percent of Israelis opposed to lifting the blockade, according to a poll by Israel's Channel 13.
Some Israelis had gathered at the border to prevent aid entering.

Working our way through a large assortment of gluten free flours, we have been using the leftovers, a few ounces of this, three quarters of a cup of that, to make crepes.

As expected, you really can mix and match flours quite freely. Today was Bob's Red Mill all purpose, a bit of sorghum, some almond flour, and some spelt*.

At other times, the mix included chickpea flour and coconut flour.

Best avoided for crepes, though, are flours with ...🧵

[* not gluten free]

Getting on towards two years in #DenHaag and I still find some mysteries in my grocery shopping.

Particularly, "bloem" and "meel".

Luckily the website which has shipped me flour in the past has a blog page all about this: HET VERSCHIL TUSSEN MEEL EN BLOEM

Unfortunately, most ML treatments are converting this (consistently through the text) into THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLOUR AND FLOUR.

From WHEAT LIFE:

"Flour sacks began replacing barrels as flour containers in the later 1800s, when the sewing machine made it possible to sew a sturdy sack that could hold flour. Flour sacks dominated the industry until the 1940s when paper sacks, which were introduced 20 years earlier, became the main form of packaging."
wheatlife.org/when-flour-was-s

A lot of these old seed and flour sacks back in the day were manufactured by a Minneapolis company whose logo was a cat out of the bag! Ope!

(You need go no further than the Minnesota State Fair to see a superb permanent collection of seed and flour sacks right there in the Ag-Hort building, not far from the crop art.)

Continued thread

Although I live in the town formerly known as Flour City, I like to recommend Dakota Maid flour from that bastion of socialism, North Dakota!

Our Mission

Provide a profit to our owners – the citizens of North Dakota.

"The North Dakota Mill and Elevator Association began operating October 22, 1922 as a value-added market for wheat produced in North Dakota. In the early 1900’s, the flour mills and grain exchange in Minneapolis were the primary wheat markets for North Dakota farmers and elevators. After freight costs to Minneapolis were deducted from Minneapolis market prices, North Dakota farmers received a low price for their wheat. The North Dakota Mill came into existence to help solve this problem."

I just like the name Dakota Maid — and that they sell replica flour sacks.

Remember when you routinely would purchase flour in 25 or 50 lb bags at the grocery?

Not possible to get bread in Gaza

In Gaza, flour supplies are depleted, and there is nothing left for the majority of bakeries funded and supported by the World Food Programme to produce bread for the hungry and traumatised population.

These bakeries are shutting down, and until further notice, we don’t know when they will reopen.
