Barley and other Grains

One of the hardest things about rural shopping is finding whole grains -- at least in their whole form.  I can find whole wheat flour with no problem.  I can find barley, but it is the quick cooking.  Brown rice isn't too hard to find, but after a while I get tired of it.  I can find popcorn and grind it for cornbread, but I don't think popcorn would "boil" up too well.

I can order them online in bulk.  I wonder if the cost is worth it though.  For that matter, how does every other vegan find their whole grains?  I can't grow them myself..LOL

Oh, that reminds me.  I forgot oats...we love 'em.

On my too make list -- Rolled Oat Burgers

I think I have all the ingredients on hand except red bell pepper and fresh basil.  I'll use green bell pepper and dried basil.  If I make them up tonight and I can fry them tomorrow.
