Today is my husband’s birthday. It’s his last year of being “in his thirties,” and I hope it’s a good one for him.
At the grocery store yesterday, I loitered on the baking aisle staring at the rows and rows of all kinds of flour: all-purpose, self-rising, bread, cake, whole wheat, organic whole wheat…and I wondered where in the store they would have hidden the rye flour, since that was what I wanted and logic told me to look with the rest of the flour. Not there. And it didn’t come jumping out at me a few aisles later, so, once more, I hold off on baking the darker breads my husband prefers.
The kids were all gleefully dancing around the cake mixes and icings.
“Let’s get this one for Dad,” suggested Billy.
“Dad asked for a cobbler for dessert, so I’m not making a cake,” I informed him.
“Oh. Where are the cobbler mixes?” he wondered.
I sighed and explained that I was making one from scratch.
“Oh. Do I like cobbler?”
“I hope not!”
Reit This Way 
Does your grocery have an “organic” aisle? Maybe you can get some rye in there. Otherwise, it might be time to team up with a neighbor who bakes and put in an order with King Arthur.Happy birthday to your husband (such a youngster!!) May he have a year with many blessings.
Try a specialty grocery store, like Whole Foods, or a health food store. Regular groceries don’t usually have any odd ingredients.
I can get rye flour at Kroger, but it comes in small bags and may not be with the other flour (I think men must decide where things go in the grocery!). Or maybe in the health food section with other Bob’s Red Mill stuff — do you have those? I hope you’ll share the recipe for whatever you’re baking!
Happy Birthday to your Dh! Many Years.I like cobbler too!
Happy birthday to hubby!!
Happy birthday to a young man in his thirties! Hope he enjoys his cobbler!
