What would you do with this flour?

I just realized that my 25 lb bag of whole wheat pastry flour got left in the mud room instead of being put into the fridge. Now there's a mouse hole in the bottom of the bag. What should I do with it??:angry:

Toss it. I don't mess with mice.

I would not use it.

I'd throw it away and curse all the way to the trash and back.

Gone. In the trash. Immediately. But I would make my DH take care of it. And then I'd set traps up everywhere, mouse poison everywhere. If I ever saw evidence of mice in my house again I would move.

Paper mache for years to come. :)

25lb bag? That's a large bag- I would doubt the mice could contaminate the whole thing from a small hole at the bottom. I would scoop out and use the top half of the bag. The rest I would mix a bit with water every few days and feed to my chickens.

Mmhmm, :iagree: I might even cry a little. But I would toss it.

Hanta virus is not something to risk.

I didn't think of feeding it to the chickens!

lol!! There's a lot about living out in the country that nobody warned me of before hand! I don't think dh would go for another move after moving to his dream home. What love will do, huh??

I had that happen to my 25 KG sack of flour. I thought at the start that I would skim the flour of the top, then I realised the mice had actually dug tunnels through the flour.

I gave it to my ds15 to throw around a tree outside as mulch. When I looked out the window I saw ds15 & ds14 having the most marvelous flour fight ever.

You can also use flour (or anything protein based) to fertilize your lawn. So although I wouldn't use the flour, I'd feed it to the chickens, or put it on the lawn or in the garden.
