Uncooked rice: The new hero of teens with ipods and cell phones.
Just a random thought, if rice could absorb moisture like that, think of all of the clumped rice we'd have sitting around our houses.
The rice you put in your salt shakers, for those not using dishes of kosher, it's to break up the clumps of salt that form because of the humidity in the air. You'd actually do just as well using unpopped popcorn, or dried beans in your salt shakers.
As far as drying out a phone or other electronic device, if you have a gas oven, put it in with just the pilot on, it will generate enough heat to dry it out, or maybe a proof setting on a newer electric oven.

phenoderr,
In your position, I would say to mix it up a little bit, instead of a traditional starch serve it with nicely toasted ciabatta, nestled in a bed of roasted seasonal squashes.
The ciabatta will absorb all of those wonderful juices and flavors from the meat and vegetables.
If you have a local bakery that you work with, see if they can make you some ciabatta rolls that are about half the size of your plate, and then use it sort of like a trencher.
