I live in a really small hick town in West Michigan, so ethnic markets are out of the question,

I wouldn't be so quick to rule it out. There are ethnic markets all over the country, you may have to make a trip to a part of town that you're not so comfortable with, but I assure you that there is one close by.

If it turns out that you can't find an ethnic store, then you can try Penzeys. I haven't purchased from them myself, but my old coworkers would frequently buy stuff in bulk from there and share it among themselves. Their prices seem pretty reasonable from what I've seen.

Absolutely, they aren't even in the same family.

I put the flour through a fine sieve and used it anyway.

Extra protein. :frogc00l:

When I was very little, about three or so, my family was pretty poor (like $200/mo poor). My mom would make those Jiffy muffins pretty often. Several years later, I was grocery shopping and saw boxes of them on sale for like $0.29, so I bought one.

When I went to make it, I saw that there were weevils in them, so I tossed them out. When I mentioned this story to my mom, her response was, "Yeah, when you were little, I wouldn't even bother picking them out. Eh, extra protein."

Your post reminded me of that.
