These sound really good!
I have a couple of plastic jugs from chips/pretzels/cheese doodles, etc. that would work!
They have large lids and I wouldn't mind kicking them around the room with the fear of breaking!
I use the jugs for rice usually...
they will fit 5 pounds of rice easily, and better than the plastic bags the rice comes in for storing!
Lots of possibilities for flavorings in this recipe!
