Things I learned today

1. a ziploc bag is not an appropriate storage container for cornstarch

2. cornstarch spreads really far when it's squeezed with force from a (broken) plastic bag by small hands

3. cornstarch clogs the inner workings of a vacuum *really* fast.

4. cornstarch is also really, really hard to clean off the floor with cloths and water, especially while dinner is burning.

5. swiped white markings of half-cleaned up cornstarch on a floor add panache to a kitchen. Really. I swear. It's the new big thing.

what I learned today: do not, under any circumstances, spill cornstarch.

I don't think there is any really effective container for cornstarch. It's a truly obnoxious substance -- except in those situations (making Pudding Hot Chocolate, for one) when it's absolutely essential.
