Backed up Sink

I had a lovely morning spent at the Mother's cafe at Andrew's school. In the afternoon, there was a plastic bag that was for food donations placed in our mailbox. I thought I would grab some things from the pantry to donate. I found quite a few boxes of Noodle Roni and Rice a Roni that our family just doesn't eat. I looked and found that they had expired. I didn't want to donate expired food so I decided I would dump the dry pasta and rice down the disposal and recycle the packaging. Not a good idea. The dry rice was the problem. I created about a foot of stuffed up pipes in my kitchen sink. Two hours later, I finally managed to empty all of the pipes under the sink, clean up the water mess from the plugged pipes and get myself cleaned up. What a way to finish a day. Note to self--dry pasta is better just put in the garbage.
