"They lost their entire village to a fire (the whole village - the only thing left standing was a statue of the BVMary)"
. . . because it isn't true.
Whoah!
I've heard complaints, mostly about the lack of a working laundromat on the peninsula and the rice, rice, and more rice being offered at the relief food stations to meat and potato eaters. Orders are being placed with Amazon for cases of canned roast beef, ham, corned beef hash, etc.
‘______rice, rice and more rice________’
Realize many people are fairly strict with the love of meat and potatoes (rarely trying anything else - - ), but if it’s good brown rice being offered, it’s highly nutritious.
Wouldn’t turn my nose up at it, especially in those trying circumstances.
If it’s just junk white rice - also ‘instant’ makes it even junkier - then all bets are off.
Only fills stomachs.
