“And for whoever bought all the bulk brown rice, I’ll buy 10 pounds or so for 10% of the cost. A-hole!”


Rice is very a poor food to try and survive on. I bought only a few items but being in Florida they’re good backups for hurricane season: some canned meats, dried green split peas, and sauerkraut.

“Rice is very a poor food to try and survive on.”

Whenever I’ve been caught with a meager meal I remember my Vietnamese hair cutter. As a child she and her mom would beg in the street after the war. She got one ball of rice to eat each day.

“I was so jealous of my older brother who got two balls of rice. But he went to work on a farm all day so he needed it more.”

Her younger sister didn’t survive though - starved to death.

But it is a good base for other foods if you have to stretch supplies. I had some buttered Langostino lobster on it, with some cheese melted in, for a snack today.
