not to hijack..but same show got me wanting to try Caroline Gold Rice..but it is $10 per lb..grrr. that goes against my chinese-ness and 2000 years of my peoples.

I watched all of the seasons of Mind of a Chef that were on Netflix. I wasn't happy when they took it off of Netflix. We ordered the bacon almost exactly a year ago after we watched that episode.

I just ordered 2 bags of Carolina Gold from Anson Mills. It's $6.95 for a single 14oz bag, or if you buy a 10lb bag, then it's $69.50. So it's $8/lb if you buy a small bag and $7/lb if you buy a big one. Yeah, that's still pricey, especially if you're used to buying the 50# bags from the Asian grocery store. We figured we'd give it a try. You have to buy 4 bags if you don't buy 10#, so we also bought some of their "Sea Island Red Peas" and some of their antebellum, coarse ground, yellow corn meal.

We probably don't eat as much rice as you do.
