Any fellow 🐿 🐿 🐿 out there.

DH calls me a squirrel, because at the first hint of cooler weather, I start stocking up on baking supplies. I live in walking distance to two grocery stores and our weather never prevents me from getting out, yet I'm forever fearful of not having what I need when the urge to bake something takes over.

I'm just as squirrelly about cooking supplies and I should also mention that I never let my gas tank dip below half.

The only squirrels around here are in our backyard. Bunnies too.

No, but I remember myself and my cousins freaking out because my grandmother cooked one when we were kids. She had plenty of money for food.. I don't know what she was thinking, but I sure never forgot it.

@house_cat. I get teased too, by others in the family, but I'm not that way only because of seasonal change. I don't drive (never have) and I hate to run out of something when I'm ready to do a spur of the moment recipe. Where I live now I am only a block and a half from a supermarket, but I just have never liked to run in and pick up one thing. I always wind up spotting and buying other things too.

Last December I was making cookies early one morning--circa 5 a.m.--and had to wait until 7 for the market to open so I could pick up cinnamon to bake a batch that wasn't on my original plan of cookie types to bake that day.

Also on pantry staples I like to stock up on things I know are shelf stable when they are offered at a REAL sales price.

You are a lot younger than me but I remember eating fried squirrel my uncle had "harvested.'' Didn't think it was bad. . .

I'm laughing at myself for ordering a pumpkin cheesecake bread mix (although you add your own cream cheese mixture and swirl it into pan of prepared bread mix). So yesterday I'm looking at what I have in the pantry and see I have 2 bags of a Costco 3-bag box of pumpkin bread mix. Duh. At least I'll have the recipe on the soon-to-arrive box for adding the "cheesecake" for future reference.

I've been thinking to check on expiration dates of soda and baking powder.

It's time to be prepared for comfort foods!

I'm so glad to discover that those icons are squirrels--they are so tiny that I thought they must be rats and was simultaneously nervous and interested to see what this thread would bring when I clicked it...
