I dont fit well in the purchase department, but my wife thrust the task into me. I get the grocery list and need to get it home. Most tricky item is the rice. Guess the confussion comes with the wide range of choice available.
At some point of time, I was buying only red rice. Folks started complaining and demanded white rice. Next time I picked the white bag. When we opened the bag ... the red rice was smiling at our face!! I sincerly believed that white bag will have white rice. Who the hell placed red rice in white bag?
After that incident I became wiser. I make sure I buy rice in transparent bags. No more taken for a ride. This month order for rice was heavy - my mom asked for 2 bags and wife wanted 1 bag. I picked the usual set of bags. Apart from this, they wanted idli rice too. That ought to be from a different store; went there and got smaller bags of different rice.
with distribution of the parcel, then came the news .. they are not boiled rice, just the raw type. In total 20kg of rice which was not liked by any. The next surprise was with the idli rice which had the similar defect. Thus we ended up with bags of rice with different orientation.
Dear wife, I know the job allotment happened due to the shortage of man power and increase of work load with the new born. I suggest you relax your hiring policy so that I may get a suitable assistant. I will make sure that she will fit in our family :-)

Ha..ha.. I have red (or brown rice as I like to call it) and white rice at home. The brown one is supposed to be healthier than the white one. My theory is that brown rice is healthier because I dont like eating as much rice when I have to eat brown rice.
