Because I'm a good 30 minutes--in good driving conditions--away from a grocery store and 45 minutes away from a decently priced grocery store, I decided to make bread. Not a foreign thing for me to do, I mean, I've posted it on here how many times? But this time I am grinding my own wheat. Have wheat, don't have whole wheat (WW) flour. Have white, not WW. Also what I don't have is a room that I want covered in a fine dusting of flour.
So I had an idea. I don't know if this qualifies as a "life hack", but it sure made my life easier.
I put a XL Space Bag over my grinder and let it roar. I left the zip lock open partially because it needs air to work, but it worked like a charm. A clean-kitchen-after-grinding-wheat charm.
Now you must know that I LOVE my wheat grinder and it is quiet for a grinder and it is clean for a grinder, but it still spews some fine flour dust in a two feet radius and today I just didn't want to deal with it. My creative side of my brain has been working on ideas how to create a "space" where I can grind and not leave a Mt. St. Helen's kinda mess* because my lazy side of my brain didn't want to deal with the mess anymore...
Voila!
