Opened a 5 gallon plastic bucket of rice that I put in storage 40 years ago. Cooked up a cup full. Just for test purposes. Slight off flavor nothing that one could really put a taste to. That was plain right out of the pot. Added just a little favoring and one notices nothing. | ||

Excellent! Do you keep those moisture absorber packets in the bucket? I forgot the name of them but I am using them in my dry goods now. ~Ann   | |||

No I did not. | |||

Selica-jel packets. I have that sealed 7.5 gal. buckets as well. Works great for rice + beans. BTW, when your stored beans get older + get crunchy; use bottled water, if you can to eliminate the effects of calcium in the water on the beans. Usually makes them like new beans. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Good to know. I have heard dry beans are hard to rehydrate when they get old. I may end up canning some next time I grow such. One of my goals is to perfect a nice batch of porky pork and beans. The store bought stuff is not the same anymore. No pork in 'em. ~Ann | |||

No kidding. My mother is 90 + that is one of her complaints, not enough (or any) pork in the pork + beans. As I have to remind her frequently, "The past is another country, they do things differently there." But as long as she is sitting behind her sewing machine life is good + she stays occupied sewing + watching old westerns. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

That was the best part of opening a can of pork and beans-searching for and getting the pork!  | |||

Yes, it was. I know there was more than one piece in the can when I was a kid. Anyway, P&B will be a good winter project for me. ~Ann | |||

I do Ann. I got a call this evening that she is in the hospital with dizziness issues but all the tests read healthy cardio-vascular; only a possible inner ear situation. Will know more tomorrow. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Ouch, hope it is nothing serious. Falls would not be a good thing at her age. ~Ann | |||

No, I talked with her this evening + she feels O.K. just tired. They recommend a walker + she is not alright with that yet but does know that she can't risk falling. This seems to be a not uncommon situation. Take your meds + a bit of therapy, which she gets to start tomorrow morning. Thank God it was not more serious. BTW, sent you a P.M. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

She's doing better today after therapy. We moved a laz-e-boy recliner into her sewing room as that is her comfort zone + she has to sleep at a 45 deg. angle to keep the room from spinning. She just needs to chill for a couple of days + put sewing + Matt Dillon on the back burner. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Aww, good news for your mom. Gotcher note. Thank you! ~Ann | |||

I read somewhere the Russians ate meat from a prehistoric animal they had dug from the frozen north! They said it was fine. | |||
