There Go The Pancakes.

I wanted to make a late evening snack for TLG and myself. The plan was whole wheat pancakes with chocolate chips. That is, till I saw the bugs. First the wheat pancake mix. Then two bags of wheat flour. And the oatmeal. The pancakes were scrapped. The flour and pancake mix tossed into the trash bin. TLG is now fast asleep. But the little black mealy bugs that have invaded my kitchen are far from forgotten. I ended up googling "How to get rid of bugs in flour?" and "Is it safe to consume flour with bugs?" I've learned that, next time, I need to store the flour in the fridge. And while nobody could positively say whether it was safe or not to use flour inhabited by bugs, I would really rather not. The thought of bug poop and microscopic eggs is just gross. Blasted bugs. Where the hell do they come from?
