Let's face it, we're all looking for that golden ticket. When will the inspiration come and in what form? Well, I got mine the other day. I was picking little grains of rice out of the carpet (again) when it dawned on me. We have a sippy cup to transport nice, watered-down juice to the kids gullets, why not have something in the same concept for rice? To dispense the rice one grain at a time. Yay. I mean, we've got those cool non-spillable bubble tumblers, why can't we think of the same thing for rice. And not only rice, why not anything small? Shredded cheese. Ah, my formidable enemy. My kids are worse than Wallace (just a bit!). They will do anything for cheese, especially when it come in a nice shredded form. I guess it's a bit better than finding the block of Cheddar mangled and hacked to bits in it's sad little ziploc baggie.
"I only wanted a piece, Mommy."
Please sir, may I have some more? You'd think I starve the kids. We have stringent rules about not eating on the carpet or couch, but the biggest offender seems to be the one that understands the least. Jacqueline, Jacqueline, what will I do with you Jacqueline? She is also the inspiration for this invention. Oh well, as soon as I get a sponsor, grant money, then I can get the idea moving!

Cool idea! Do you have a name for your invention?
No matter how I picture the rice dispenser, it ends up hilarious. What a brilliant idea. :)
He he! Sign me up! And while you're at it can you invent a cracker that doesn't crumble????
I cook sticky rice. When it sticks together, it doesn't get away as easy. No clue what to do with wild cheese though.
