I was reading Consumer Reports about arsenic levels in rice too. Basmati rice has lower levels than most other forms of rice and I am now eating mainly that type.
White rice has less arsenic than brown rice as some of the arsenic is in the bran. I've stuck to eating brown rice as its suppose to be less caloric.

I'd wash it with hot water and soap, a couple of times first. How do you feel about strong chemicals? If you are trying to avoid them, let it soak in a vinager and water solution, then let it sit in the sun. The ultraviolet in the sun should kill the mold and the smell.
If you don't worry that much about chemicals, disinfect with a mild bleach solution and then sun it to kill the odor.

Also keep an eye out for another container in thrift stores, you might be lucky and it wouldn't hurt to have a spare

I baked spinach pizza and KA sausage and cheese biscuits. The last was interesting and I was teasing a friend that he couldn't eat it sober. I could barely stand to buy the ingredients sober, 3/4 lb breakfast sausage, 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup cheese, are just overwhelming in the amount of fat. They were tasty and full of fat. I took them to a Martial Arts Class Sunday and they were well recieved there. Oh I gave the last two to my friend, who had them with a shot of vodka.
I also made a foccacio with oregano leaves in the dough and topped with rosemary sprigs.

I had spearmint, peppermint, chocolate mint and pineapple mint growing next to each other. I only planted these four years ago. They all grew nicely the first year. The second year I found it hard to tell chocolate mint and peppermint apart, but I assumed some of each still survived. Last year the pineapple mint was so swamped by the spearmint that I could only find one little plant. I rescued it and grew it in a pot all summer and then planted it in its own spot. The main mint bed consisted of peppermint and spearmint warring on each other last year. This year the spearmint came up but I can't find any peppermint/chocolate mint. Either it was swallowed by the spearmint or its just late sprouting.
So I am the only person who has killed or nearly killed mint. Does anyone have a recipe for lemon balm? That is flourishing mightily.
