We already had the discussion on the new Ziploc pump bags
I decided to use the ziploc bags for some small amounts of rice, I didn't want to keep them in the original bag. I froze the rice first (someone suggested that to kill any little critters, thank goodness! I did find something in the rice) and I was putting the rice in the ziploc and pumping out the air, when along comes my son.
I think I told you how he was concerned about "starving to death" if the grocery stores shut down, so I explained to him what I was doing, how I was adding it to our emergency supplies.
Obviously bagging food and pumping the air out is more fun than video games, because he gave up what he was playing, and kept pulling food out of the pantry to bag. we have rice, pasta, envelopes of soup mix and hot cocoa, salt, coffee, all sealed tight. He would have kept going if it wasn't time for dinner.
