I found the red pepper flakes!

Alas, I was looking for the wild rice, which rather perplexingly is not on its shelf with the other grains. It's a big jar! How could it get lost!? Well, if it started walking it must be halfway to New Jersey by now, as they say.

Typical!

I'm sure you recall Ellen DeGeneres' line: “At sixty my grandmother started walking five miles a day - now she's seventy and we don't know where the hell she is.”

LOL.

...and hence the reason it uses the moniker "wild" rice!

Ha ha.

*Do* they say that? Well, I certainly do now!

They do in NYC. Presumably in other places they sub in other local-but-not-here locales.

If I see a bag of wild rice roaming my yard, I'll know who to return it to. =)

Thanks. We didn't pay for the microchipping and of course, since it's an indoor rice, we don't have a collar.
