Discovered that www.mredepot.com now sells vacuum-sealed brown rice in #10 cans!
Ordered some to see if this solves the rancidity problem.

Thanks for posting the MREdepot site. That's the cheapest I've seen for #10 cans of anything!
Nope. The website said the rice will remain good as long as the can seal isn't broken. IIRC, the cans are nitrogen-flushed, and include an oxygen absorber, which should retard oxidation of the oils in the rice.
I've never had a problem with anything I've ordered from www.mredepot.com, but will report to y'all when I start opening the cans.
Right now, I store vacuum-packed jars of brown rice in the freezer; sure would be nice to reclaim that freezer space!
All best,

But what weapons can you use to dispossess someone who will not accept anything except Holy Scripture interpreted according to his own rules?...Where Lutheranism reigns, learning dies. They seek only two things: good pay and a wife. The gospel offers them the rest — that is, the power of living as they please.
I understand now how Arius and Tertullian and Wickliff were driven into schism by malicious clergy and wicked monks.

Slapped my emergency radio, lantern and drill on their respective rechargers and am in the process of raising everything off the basement floor as high as possible. . .Hurricane Earl might pay us a visit on Friday.
Of course the weather people usually get it wrong, but Thursday is too late to make a plan.
Everything else is taken care of.
I don't believe this house can hold up to a Cat 3 but Mrs. Bear will not leave. Guess that's when the "God Factor" kicks in.
I don't particularly want to leave either = my scumb@g neighbors would pick this house cleaner than a chicken neck at a Baptist barbecue. . .
