You can't buy yeast in DC for love or money, and people are complaining. I guess folks haven't heard of sourdough. You can easily make your own starter because yeast is everywhere.
Yeah well, when other people were freaking out over toilet paper, I was quietly stocking up on yeast and baking powder (already have lots of flour), as well as booze and especially cocktail bitters. If I’m gonna go down, it’s gonna be with a martini in my hand.
For yeast you can use Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic. It is genetically identical to yeast. It is yeast. Health food stores, drug stores, and Amazon carry it.
