    Talk about misnomers. "All Purpose" flour is severely limited.

    I tried using it for other purposes.  As a deodorant, it kept odor away
    but my armpits were really sticky afterward.  Another purpose was the car.   Washed the car and figured the flour would be beneficial in
    making is shine.  Nope, another loss.

    Seems like it is good for only one purpose, baking.  Failure with
    everything else.  Should be name "One Purpose Flour"

    Anyone find another purpose for it?


    Still on pain medication Ed?

    ;-)

    Just Tylenol. Periods of physical workout to breakup the boredom of the
    rest of the day.

    You could use it yourself. Clowns often dress up with white faces. All
    you need add is some red for the cheeks.
