Crawling Rice Protein
Tired of paying $8 for 5 lbs of Tilde basmati rice with $9 for
shipping, so I shopped a Mediterranean store in town and bought 25 lbs of Pakastani basmati for about $8. 25 lbs. was the smallest quantity offered. This came in a nice cloth bag with handles and a zipper and after a month, some creepy-crawlies. Yeah, I know . .it's protein. But I had been washing what I used. Most American grown rice states "doesn't need rinsing" but I think I'll continue rinsing all my rice. |

The only (monetary) depression you will be encountering as a result of a 2nd
Bush term (and there WILL be a 2nd Bush term) is your own stupidity to properly invest in a rising stock market. Millions of people have for centuries been enjoying beans and rice. They are great with enchiladas or fajitas. Now as for the toasted cockroaches, well whatever floats your boat. Not for me, but you can go for the unwashed rice and continue to writhe in the ignorance of propaganda and stand on the sidelines as this county moves forward with a real leader. Thank GOD that Gore isn't president, and it's quite obvious that Kerry has NOTHING. Do you really want to gamble this country's future ( and your children's if you are mature enough to have children) on someone with a 19 year history of voting against keeping our country properly armed and feeling as though we need other's "permission" to defend ourselves? Thank you, but I'm not willing to consider that as a viable possibility. I encourage you to get comfortable and prepare for 4 more years. And it will be 4 more years of taking it to the terrorists, and yes, young Americans will die, but tell me....maybe you prefer the airplanes into the buildings with the 3000 dead approach on our soils as opposed to the dead terrorists on foreign soil??? Perhaps you would enjoy more the "dirty bomb" detonated in times square? Wake up shit head. Now go wash your rice and sit down and shut up.
