I am drafted onto a condominium committee and today we had a practice run for a fire and disaster safety drill that will take place next week. I was in the kitchen learning how to make and dish out emergency rice rations. It is a boxed set that will make small meals for about 50 people. The dried rice is in a large plastic bag in a box, and we pour in water up to the line, wait for an hour and voila! The box also contains plastic containers and chopsticks. The reconstituted rice even tasted halfway decent. Next week is the main event and the fire department comes for various activities. We get to do three boxes of the emergency food, chicken rice, gomoku rice and dry curry, and let the neighborhood have a sampling.
