Ants in the Flour
This morning as I prepared to bake some French loaves, I discovered five or six small ants in my flour! There were no more, and none in the pantry: just those few; their eggs must have gotten into the flour somehow. Very odd—one would have thought that the days of mealworms and the like were long gone. I didn’t bother to sift them out: they’re so small that they’d have gone right through my sifter; anyway, ants are harmless, just a bit of extra protein. Heck, the Froggies eat them all the time, dipped in chocolate.
