Rice, the almost finished product

this is a small batch drying in the sun before milling. There are a few names at least for rice from the time it goes into the ground to the product you get at the table. We go through 100lbs. every 21-23 days, like you would buy potatoes in the states, we buy rice.
We had a moto -dop driver ( they are moto taxi's drivers who take people or anything else for a very small price, about 1500 riel(real) which is 37 cents, or there abouts with exchange) come with a bag this morning, said our cook ordered it. We all looked at each other. It was highly unlikely cause we buy from a Chinese family and only purchase a certain organic rice, one of the family members delivers it also. So we took it but we knew he'd be back. Sure enough he came back and said he was so sorry, he had the wrong house... Well we all knew that. I purposly didn't open and have put in our big bin because I knew he would return. Our cook will get a kick out of that. Posted by Picasa
