Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful Asiatic Black Queens,
When baking, as with everything else, we should always try and use the best. I have been baking my own bread for about four years now and I have tried quite a few different brands of flour.
I started out with the Gold Medal flour because it used to have a recipe for bread on the back. And I was very pleased with the results. Allah was helping me with that, Sisters, because the first time you bake bread it can be scary. However, unfortunately, they no longer have the bread recipe on the back of their whole-wheat flour anymore. 😦 But here is the recipe I use.
After I got comfortable to the point where I didn’t need the recipe anymore, I substituted the Gold Medal for the store brands I found at Ralph’s and Target. They were less expensive and my son likes the Target brand better than even the Gold Medal.
But I am often sampling new stores for better prices and products and currently I shop at Smart & Final and Target for all of my groceries. Smart & Final for honey, cream cheese and ginger. Target for milk, cream and cauliflower. I get my fish from Food 4 Less and my produce from this little truck around the corner from my house.
My car recently broke down and I had to switch to a more convenient Target (City) that didn’t have the store brand. So, when I went to Smart & Final I searched for alternatives.
When I first saw the King Arthur flour I was repulsed by the image of a Crusader as their logo. (And I still am). The Crusaders were killers of Muslims, and devils love them, But to Black People they are the personification of the hate that our enemies have had and always will have for us.
I wrestled with the decision, but ultimately acquiesced because realistically, ALL of our food comes from devils. So, until Black People accept Islam, and unite and do something for self, I’m stuck.
Since I have to buy from devils, I might as well get they best they have to offer.
