Rice has now been safely transferred into my storage tub and I've got this nifty burlap bag. Hmm.... I wonder what I can use it for??
Like I said... I'm easily amused today.

Easily amused
I must be easily amused today. I was out running errands while V was at Kum Do this morning. I knew I needed rice but didn't want to go to the regular grocery store so I decided to stop by a little mediterranean grocery that is new to me but was near where I was driving. It has been there for a year or so but I have never stopped. I was really hoping that they may have squid ink but sadly, they didn't. But I did find this:
A 10 lb package of basmati rice at a reasonable price, in this really cool bag with handles.
And it has a zipper! How awesome is that!!
Spaz was intrigued by it. However, I spoiled his fun when I didn't let him use it as a claw sharpener. I'm so mean.

I don't blame you. That is one cool bag!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it was the "foreign" aroma of the bag that intrigued Spaz.
I love making basmati rice because it smells so much like popcorn when it's cooking!
LOL! I think it was a burlap bag that he thought would be fun to scratch! But I agree on the rice. Love basmati!
Delete10 lbs... that's just getting started in our household. My wife being from the Philippines, we go through a lot of rice. We buy it in 50 lb bags and go through two or three of them a year. Our rice cooker is the most used countertop appliance by far.
ReplyDeleteWe like rice but don't eat THAT much! You've definitely got us beat. We probably go through 30 lbs in a year but nothing close to yours.
DeleteWell let's see, you could use it for a bag! Ot you could snip the hanfdles off of it and make a pillow out of it.

I'm wondering about using it for a bag to take to the farmer's market... I like the idea of a pillow but the cats would think it was theirs to scratch!
DeleteOh my, all our rice is in zipper bags with handles LOL! I'm going to have to get used to going without my big bags of rice when I move back it looks like!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I usually buy rice in 5 or 10 lb packages but this was the first time in burlap! Of course, I don't shop the little specialty shops as often as I should.
DeleteI've never heard of that kind of rice. Loved the bag with a zipper! wow! I'm sure you'll find a cute use for it. How about a purse? Cute kitty cat!! ...debbie
ReplyDeleteJust a warning...I brought home one of those nifty bags of basmati rice (different brand, same concept) and it gave my kitchen an infestation of pantry moths. I found out it could have been avoided if I had put it in the freezer for a couple of days first...this kills the larva. The rice is really delicious and worth the extra bother...our curries and pilafs wouldn't be the same without it.
