I could live on beans and rice everyday with some tomato paste for taste. I'm having trouble finding bulk rice currently. Costco never has any and if they do apparrently you can only buy 1 bag at a time right now.

On a related note, a co-worker told me that it was selfish of me to want to "hoard" rice at this time of shortage. Don't think I've ever heard food storage described as selfish before.
