Even though this post says it was written by Kevin, it was not. I just added him as an author on this blog so I don't have to keep signing him out of his google account.
At Costco the other day, I decided to add to our food storage by buying a large bag of rice. It turns out that rice is rather dense, and while I can easily lift a bag of cat food that big, rice is quite a bit heavier. Twice as heavy, in fact.
The rice was on a low shelf, and I was able to lug one sack onto the lower bit of my trolley. It teetered on a support bar for my whole shopping trip, but it stayed on the cart.
When I got to the car and tried to heft it into my trunk, it was heavier than I'd thought, causing my body to lurch forward and my face to hit the handlebar. It hurt for several days, but didn't give me a glorious bruise, or else I'd have posted a picture.
Well, to make a boring story longer, today I took that 50-lb bag of rice, sewed little bags, and split it into several manageable-sized bags. They look like little panda-print pillows stacked on my shelf.
So there! My food storage may be embryonic and unorganized, but it's cuter than yours. Ha ha ha!

Your food storage definitely sounds cuter than mine! Mine is in buckets and storage bins stacked against the kitchen wall, in a pile under the "kitche" table, and stuck into the coat closet where there aren't any coats.
FIFTY POUNDS OF RICE?!?!? We bought FIFTEEN and I thought Logan was crazy! Where in the WORLD do you put 50 pounds of rice in an apartment? I don't think I could lift that to save my life!
Actually, I admit it. *I* wrote this blog, smacked my head on a grocery cart, and made cute panda bear bags for all the rice.
