back to bulk foods

we're just settling in to a new apartment, which comes with the feeling of a fresh start. it's the new school year like a fresh pink eraser, its edges still defined by the contours of its factory mold and not yet smudged with mistakes and the indiscriminate mulch from the pit of your backpack. the annual communal rebirth through commerce, the assumption of this year's body, and the inevitable discovery that the past has not in fact let go.
so i went to harvest co-op (among the less cooperative of such institutions), and bought some bulk foods, 1 qt each:

• short grain brown rice
• med grain white rice
  
• quinoa
• hulled barley
• buckwheat groats
  
• corn meal
• chick peas
• pinto beans
• adzuki beans
• falafel mix (~1pt)
• rolled oats (~3qt)

and tahini, cured olives, sea salt, coffee, bread, milk, baby cereal

i'll post up here when i use these things.
starting later this evening with the buckwheat.
