Origin: Rice is nice. Grazing is quicker. Not as quick as liqour, but I can barely hold a beer...but I digress.
How long kept: I don't know, but the Lundbergs -- no doubt a very nice Swedish American family from the midwest -- wouldn't lie. It's supposed to expire in November of 2010.
Why kept: I might make one of my 2 signature dishes. It involves rice, thus It Might Be Useful.
Usage: A bit. See confession.
Destination: I ate it. (After cooking it.)
Confession: This is a repurposed plastic jar, which once held a kilo of another brand of brown rice. There's another 5-6 cups of rice in here. I'll be racing to cook my way through the rest of it in the next couple of weeks. (But I won't blog this again...no reruns around here!)
And the plastic jar? It's toast. I'll be trashing it, and continuing to repurpose glass jars that enter my life.
Confession, son of: When I checked through my cabinets I also found some french lentils. Aargh. I just bought a pound of lentils the other week and made a tasty soup. Now I have two containers of lentils, partly used.
Confession, cont: Around here, these sorts of pantry staple aren't so so much of a staple. They're usually bought on a "just in time" basis, then sit in my cabinet Out Of Sight, Out of Mind. Until I realize that I'll never use it. Then there's an effort to find an appropriate destination -- usually successful. Or a cabinet emergency or determination something has expired sends it to compost. No more! Starting right now.
Thank Heaven I don't actually have a pantry. If my cabinet space weren't more limited...
