After months of quarantine, having gone through all the cool recipes from my mother, I needed to go to the store.
In the sunroom, I moved some furniture and set two tables with my best china pink Fostoria glasses, and silverware and linen napkins we received as wedding gifts fifty years ago. I was beaming! The tables looked awesome.
I was proud of myself!
I decided to whip up a special dinner for my husband on Valentine’s Day.
He loved my one-hour rolls which really are delicious. Opening the cupboard, I looked for ingredients.
Drat! I had no yeast!

Grandma made the BEST rolls — but YOU are the best !!
Thanks honey!
Oh dear, after all that preparation. Guess they’ll be one-hour flatbreads instead!
or bread! Thanks for reading and commenting drailman!
Yes they will be. Thanks for reading!
Dear Nan,
We do what we gotta do. Sweet story. Sounds like there’s a ring of truth in this one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Yes there is! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Flour has been the thing in short supply here
You can’t make anything with out flour! It is most important! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Yes, I can echo Neil’s remark. You can’t get flour for love nor money right now. And I guess if I look in my cupboard the bag that’s there will be eons beyond the expiry date.
I haven’t tried to buy any flour in a long time – I’m going to check out the store tonight! Thanks for reading and commenting!
I like the looks of that recipe. I have flour and yeast. Maybe I’ll bake. . . .
I don’t have any yeast – but it makes me hungry!
Lovely story, Nan. Oh the yeast situation! I finally found some last week 😉
I don’t always buy yeast at the store, but when I do I check the date on it. I made flattened rolls once with old yeast. Was funny looking. Thanks for reading my story!
I had some that was “past due” but that doesn’t mean it’s dead. 1 tbsp sugar, 1/4 cup of warm water and the yeast. Mix and wait 10 minutes. You’ll know if it’s alive 😉 They say to do this even with non-expired yeast. I can imagine your flattened rolls were funny looking! 😉
Nice! Another saga of couples learning to cook all over again. Which reminds me, there’s a pizza crust made from self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Supposed to be delicious.
Five outta five atsa-matta-U’s.
Interesting with a pizza crust without the yeast. Thank you for reading my story!
You’re welcome, Nan!
My friend’s mom has been trying to find yeast for a month. I think she finally found some. Entertaining take on what we’re all going through.
I really hope we’re not still in quarantine come Valentine’s Day.
Please NO! That’s months away – Thank you for reading my story!
Arghhh yes I keep finding I don’t have anything I need for one off cooking treats. Drats indeed
I have a friend that keeps a well-stocked pantry. Makes me jealous how efficient she is! Thanks for reading my story!
I think we’ve all been there haha. Hope she has a plan B! I liked that you included the recipe.
Thanks for reading my story – These rolls are really delicious – We have made them for years.
perhaps you can substitute it with a combination of lemon juice and baking soda?
I don’t know about this substitution, but I do know this recipe works for sure. Thanks for reading plaridel!
Ouch! I bet you drummed up something equally delicious!
Thanks justjoyfulness! I think we just had bread that night. Thanks for reading and commenting on my story!
The stores here have been out of yeast for weeks. We are going to try making our own.
Sorry you can’t get yeast and some of the readers can’t get flour. I live in Kansas, USA. and we haven’t had a shortage yet. Good luck! Thanks for reading my story and commenting!!
I enjoyed your positive take on making lovely food, in spite of the shut down. Round where I live there was a run on yeast ! Baking has become very popular.
Several readers have noted this. Sorry. So far we don’t have a shortage. Thanks for reading my story and commenting!
Oh no! How disappointing to have your heart set on doing something only to find out you can’t do it.
Well, I used a heart cookie cutter and made toasted hearts. Thanks for reading and commenting on my story!
Ah… a nice alternative! You’re welcome!
