So yesterday in class, we were talking about the need for labeling in a kitchen and I thought it was pretty irrelevant until we played the White Powder Game...
What is the White Powder Game you ask? Well, our teacher put twelve different white powder substances in numbered Ziploc bags and we were supposed to identify each of them on sight and touch alone (no smell or taste).

These were the twelve items:
- Abrasive sink cleaner
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Cornstarch
- Dry-carpet cleaner
- Granulated sugar
- Laundry detergent
- Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
- Powdered sugar
- Salt
- Sanitizer
I must say, it was a pretty creative exercise. It's easy to misjudge which item is which and that's no good when you are in a kitchen setting (whether it's a restaurant or your own).
On a side note, it's pretty funny that if you google "white powder,"
as I did to get this image, more than half of the results are of Amy Winehouse.
That is actually a popular game to play at bridal showers. Does the woman know her cooking ingredients based on look alone? A little sexist when it comes down to it, but still fun and challenging.
