SC - Oranges and "orange" - OT/(?)OOP

[James Gilly / Alasdair mac Iain]

I have a vacuum sealer and use that as soon as I get things home.  Package them
up in the sizes I will use...2 cups rice in each vacuum bag, 1 lb of pasta in
each bag, etc.  Don't have any trouble with bugs at all doing this and I live in
Florida.
