If I'm informed correctly:

- wheat flour degrades rather quickly;

- unground wheat berries/kernels will last for many years if
stored in airtight containers with the oxygen removed by dry ice
or manufactured oxygen eliminator packets;

- wheat has much more protein and other nutrients than (at least
white) rice.

Plain wheat kernels can be boiled to make a very nice grown-up
cereal.  My wife likes milk, honey, cinnamon, and/or butter on
hers.  I prefer plain milk on mine.  If no milk is available,
that's okay, too.

The recipe can be adjusted for the size of batch being boiled,
but the general idea is to combine 3 parts water for 1 part wheat
kernels, bring to a boil, turn down the heat and let slow boil or
simmer for ~45 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it
continue to self-cook for 3-8 hours.  A larger pan will hold heat
longer, while a smaller pan will cool down more quickly, so cook
times can be adjusted to get the preferred consistency.

In my experience, boiled wheat can be left at room temperature
for up to 24 hours before refrigerating it, but it starts to
taste sour after a few days in the fridge if left at room
temperature longer than about 24 hours before going in the
fridge.

If boiling is not possible, wheat can be eaten by putting some
kernels in the mouth for a few minutes to let them soften enough
for chewing.

Many of the outbreaks of food-borne illnesses over the years seem to be 
connected to things being processed too early in the supply chain. Who 
ever thought it would be a good idea for chain restaurants to bring in 
lettuce shredded at a plant in Mexico and distribute it across half the 
United States? Rather than to cut up a head of lettuce in the kitchen?
I can see pre-shredded lettuce making a little bit of sense in a small 
family or a single person's kitchen, but in a restaurant?

Likewise in years past, burger chains had large outbreaks of E. Coli 
linked to ground beef being shipped all over. In my old country, ground 
meats sold in retail stores had to be ground on the store premises and 
sold within 24 hours.

I can remember when meat was ground on demand from identifiable pieces of 
meat. A pound of 'ground round' was a bit different from today's super 
lean product that is only 15% fat. I draw the line at the 'chubs'.

   Ground meats did have a rather bad rep. The odd bit
   is THIS year the reports are almost ALL veggies.

chicken free.

RT is Russian state sponsored propaganda. I didn't think you weren't 
aware of that.

AFAIK no one imports  eggs from Ukraine. Its outside the EU so they 
would be subject to tariffs and meeting EU standards

Oh. The torygraph says we import MOST of our [imported] eggs from 
Ukraine. And so does the EU. Color me confused.

Back in the day a chicken farmer AND MEP in the EU  'parliament' told me 
that the problem was that newly admitted nations like Romania and 
Bulgaria were given a free pass to help them get their hygiene in order, 
and that waiver was never rescinded.

Certainly I'm aware of that, just as I'm aware much of the MSM is either 
government or NGO propaganda. Compare the reports taking in consideration 
the biases and you may glimpse the real story.

For example, while some of the articles became more balanced today's hot 
headline was

"Russian strike near Kyiv kills 37, in one of the year's deadliest 
attacks"

https://www.npr.org/2026/08/29/nx-s1-5948714/russian-strike-kyiv

Dastardly attack on civilians!  As the story got fleshed out it seems the 
Russians had hit a drone depot that was next to a home for elderly 
citizens. It's not clear how many of the personnel working in the depot 
were killed but as might be expected the facility, chock full of high 
explosives meant for Russian, blew up.

Even Zelensky held a press conference promising to hunt down whoever made 
such a bad decision. It's not the first time civilians have been killed 
when an attack on a legitimate military target in a residential 
neighborhood wound up with dead civilians.

You should be familiar with the process. The air attacks on Coventry's 
heavy industry did damage to the countryside, in part because of the 
success of the plan to decoy the bombers from the factories. That gave 
Lindemann and Bomber Harris the latitude to specifically bomb residential 
areas, dehousing, since it was easier to get rid of the civilian workforce 
than target heavily defended legitimate sites.

Its always about how well Russia is doing, and never about the fact that 
Russia is pretty much on the point of total collapse, threatening 
nuclear strikes on Britain.

Probably the two best commentators are - surprisingly - Americans . Jake 
Broe and Paul Warburg on you tube.

The Ukra8inin commentators are unsurprisingly more partisan

I think that is not actually quite correct, buy I haven't fact checked it.

The fact does remain that Russia bombs Ukraine indiscriminately with no 
regard for civilian life.

Ukraine is somewhat more circumspect, but it's war and shit inevitably 
happens

The problem is that the Russian kit is simply not accurate, They may 
claim they are after a military target in the Donbas but it overshot and 
landed on a block of flats in Kyiv.
I personally don't believe them. Its pure terrorism.

Accuracy in WWII was to the nearest two miles. Ukrainian drones are 
hitting individual aircraft on runways and individual distillation 
towers in oil plants and individual  Wildberry warehouses.

Usually if there is any collateral damage it's because the drones were 
disabled first and debris fell on civilian areas.

Russia no longer has access to Starlink, but Ukraine does.

Putin is on the edge of being deposed. His 'elections' are due. He is 
desperate to be able to say 'NATO attacked us 'and we are winning in 
Ukraine'. But the banks have closed their doors and people cannot 
withdraw cash, there is no gasoline West of the Urals and not much 
diesel, 50% of the distilleries are out of action and nearly all 
Wildberries warehouses are gone.

Putin is hitting civilians because his armaments are mostly crap. The 
ones that get through - the supersonic ballistic missiles - are simply 
not very accurate, and the subsonic drones are mostly being shot down, 
So they are going to miss. Putin doesn't care. He is a war criminal 
already and a few more civilian lives are not going to change that.

Ukrainians at least want to be able to appear to be civilised after the 
war is over.

Well no, just not obviously pro Russian stuff

The balanced view would be to let them solve their own problems that have 
been going on since the Swedes invaded and became Rus.

If you wanted that you should not have guaranteed the Ukrainians defence 
against Russia when they gave up all their nuclear weapons.

But we have come to understand that America never makes promises it 
intends to keep.

Generic you noted. Trust me, the policies of the US government do not 
reflect my wishes.

It's not trustworthy over the course of one administration let alone 
successive administrations with differing goals that will reverse the last 
one's policies. If you want long term stability a representative democracy 
is not the way to go.

But on the other hand, business and prosperity require the mutual 
adoption of  a set of rules that transcend the issues of immediate profit.

E.g a nation that routinely confiscates goods destined for its citizens, 
will find that it is not profitable to do business with. It becomes 
isolated. You might call it North Korea.

Businesses that do not keep to handshake contracts require legal ones 
and the means to enforce them,. At some point that makes them too 
expensive to do business with.
Yes, I was all ready to sue the Ford Motor Company when unexpectedly 
they paid up. I had known people who had worked for them, so I was ready.
Nations that think that everybody has to do business with them no matter 
what tariffs they impose, run by someone who pretends he was actually a 
business man, rather than  a failed small time bully in the real estate 
business,are in for a shock.

If you want to do business, you need a stable environment. Democracy or 
otherwise.

That means keeping your word, to build trust and respect.

No one trusts or respects the USA any more. Even Iran's leadership is 
laughing.

But they don't have commercial ties. The rest of us are quietly untying 
them.

I think this is in reference to the 1994 Trilateral Statement, which is
not a particularly strong security assurance: it only applies in cases
where nuclear weapons are used and the commitment is only to seek UN
Security Council action.

https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/30922-document-10-january-14-trilateral-statement-january-14-1994

(The flaw should have been apparent even at the time: Russia would veto
any proposed UNSC action after nuking Ukraine.)

Unless there are further assurances somewhere, I don’t think the USA has
broken a promise here by limiting its support for Ukraine (just made a
serious mistake).

Nuclear weapons was not a primary objective to the Budapest memorandum.
In it Belaurs Ukraine and Khazakstan were guaranteed independence 
provided they played nice with Russia.

Only Russian propgandists claim that the nuclear attack was all that was 
contained within it

Well it depends on how explicit the promises were.
The West has allowed the USA to sell it arms and run its defence policy 
on the understanding that all that money spent on US kit and US bases 
would actually mean something when the shit hit the fan, and that it 
would be supported, and work, if a threat to NATO countries were apparent.

It turns out that like so much US hardware, it was junk, and would only 
work if the parent company let it, and could only be serviced by the 
parent company at huge expense. Think John Deere. Think Microsoft.

And all that came out because a corrupt president who owed the Russians 
his whole existence, used his powers to stop it being used.

We are thankful we got the message before it got any further.

   ?Que?

   Swedes never really became Rus - at least
   not for 1500+ years.

   Different cultures. Different 'takes'.

   Those who became Rus - SUPER hard-asses.

   Never, ever, discount what they're willing
   do do for power/dominance. We've SEEN that
   in the 20th century, even a little before.
   Suffer massive MASSIVE casualties and pain
   to EVENTUALLY destroy the Foe.

   NEVER assume the Rus will act in what most
   of the world thinks is a 'sane' manner. That
   is not their culture and history.

   Vlad has burned up at LEAST half a million
   in his war against Ukraine. Russians don't
   even blink at that. Russia is NOT the UK
   or USA.

   HARD-asses in the old meaning.
