I bought some Orange Chicken at Safeway today. I am warming it up in the oven. I spent five minutes looking for my bag of rice, which I knew was "to the left" in in fridge.
After I discovered some ancient artifacts in my fridge, which I put in my garbage, but no rice, I took a snort of cocaine, took a puff on my pipe, and did some thinking.
I checked my freezer, and found the rice there.
I will have a decent dinner this evening,
Have you ever had a "senior moment"?
Do you like reading Sherlock Holmes stories?

Freezer seems to be an odd place for rice. I hope you could use it.

@kaylachan I reckon rice is pretty "durable."

You store raw rice in the fridge?

@TheHorse I’ve never heard of raw rice being stored in the fridge. I keep it in the pantry in a glass jar.

I have never heard of anyone reading Sherlock Homes story twice
Have you? And then that will be a senior moment.

@TheHorse Holmes wrote detective stories What was the point in re-reading those stories when you already know who the killer is?

I have read a lot of Sherlock Holmes stories, long back.
"The Hound of Baskervilles" is my favourite.
A lot of great short stories as well!
I sometimes had "senior" moments when stress engulfed me a lot.
I have been facing a lot of work & other pressures since last many days.
But on later thoughts, it is life !!
So is the weather warm or just pleasant in your place?

I would call it pleasant. I think it is already almost 60 F. Let's see. The formula I have memorized is F = 9/5C + 32. I used to tease Maluse about not being able to do the computation. Do you remember Maluse? I used to enjoy tormenting her, as I do @Vandana7 now. So it's about 15 C here now.

I suspect Professor Moriarty stole your rice and hid it in the freezer.

What does Sherlock Holmes have to do with senior moments? I'm glad you found the rice in the end. Don't do too much snow.
