My guess is that all the 20 lb bags of rice sold in the supermarkets
here will be medium grain calrose rice so the answer is that we have no
choice. I might be able to pick up some giant bags of long grain at
Costco - maybe. Anyway, the Chinese restaurants must get their rice from
somewhere but I don't think it's Safeway.

The thing about rice is that it's a lot less fuss that having to boil
and peel and mash potatoes. All I do is dump the rice in the pot and
rinse it out 5 times and put it on the automatic rice cooker and then
forget it. Takes me less than 4 minutes. That seems like a major time
saver.
