Day 308: Carnaroli Rice

Perfect rice for making risotto! I bought this rice at Big John's PFI, a crazy Mediterranean import store in SoDo. They are best known for their huge selection of cheese and olives. I learned about the store when I was taking cooking classes at the now defunct Culinary Communion. Chef Gabriel raved about this place so I had to check it out. I also bought my knife at a place he recommended - The Epicurean Edge in Kirkland. That place has an awesome selection of knives.

The Rules

- One item must be posted for every day of 2010

- Listed items must be either gifted, donated, or trashed

- Once an item is added to the list it can not be removed

- Identical or grouped items only count as one unit, e.g. my old Economist magazines only count as one item

- Try doing a search for "available"

- The recommended method for calling "dibs" is to post a comment on the desired item but other mediums will be considered (Facebook, Google Buzz).

- Any potential shipping charges are the responsibility of the requester (I live in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle)

- Preference may be given to first-time dibbers

- I have turned on comment moderation so readers can safely leave their contact info. This means your comments will not show up immediately and it may not be immediately obvious if an item is dibbed. I try to update ASAP but don't always have immediate access.

- Project will only end early if impartial third parties agree that disposing of any more items would be counterproductive
