Toasted Toes and Hot Hands: Solutions

I was just reading about heating grain in fabric pouches in a microwave.
It said if you overheat the rice it will smell burnt and stay that way, so maybe you overdid the heating of the pillow. There are lots of good websites with instructions for making the pillows. I think the raw rice stays warm way longer than for example cooked rice- otherwise maybe we could just fill our boots with a scoop of hot rice and beans (arroz con habichuelas) before we go out in the cold.

Yum. I love beans and rice. Never would make it into the boot. I'm thinking of making some bags with corn. Not a lot of deer corn for sale in Manhattan, but you can get it from Ebay.

I think mine is barley. It doesn't really have an odor, but maybe would if I burned it.

But it sure feels good next to cold feet at night!
