Expiration Dates...

Oops! I just found an unopened box of corn meal dated July 19, 1999. :$ I guess I don't need it.



Ramen. "Best used by July 12, 1997"

ROFL. That doesn't just mean I've had the stuff for ten years, but also that I've managed to bring it along on at least three moves in three counties.

It's good to know that you haven't been that hungry in the last ten years. :D

Oh yeah, I used to laugh when I found things (usually spices) that were store brands from stores that are only on the east coast. I've lived on the west coast for 9 years now in four residences in two states ... that stuff has been around a while. I think it's pretty much all gone finally.

I don't really have any food in the house. I usually shop every couple of days. It's kind of a pain when i wanna bake cause i never keep flour or sugar. I buy it when i need it, then throw out whatever is left. The only things in my fridge right now is 3 gallons of water, honey mustard, and a bottle of Amaretto.

whoa.

So does that mean if you make cupcakes/pancakes they would be hard and stale as soon as you took them out of the oven/pan?



I actually looked inside to evaluate it. The flour was still fluffy, but the dead bugs were a turnoff. I'd already had my quota of protein for the day. :D

did the bugs have expiration dates on them too?

When I moved in to my boyfriends house I found some form of a once cheese like product in his fridge from november 2002:o. I also found multiple tupper ware containers full of something unrecognizable. There was also frozen chicken from 04' in his freezer.

If it's expired, I throw it out. That includes people.:|

Chris

yeah it gets pretty bad when a bunch of expired people start stinking the place up, but on the other hand some just smell bad and arent really expired:D

My parents moved a couple years ago and I tossed out a bunch of spices they bought in 1979 when they moved in. :o



When we moved my grandparents in 1993, I found a packet of yeast that expired in 1963. :D

My first order of business when I visited my grandma was to go through her fridge and throw out all the old stuff...expired dates or moldy leftovers. The Depression had quite an effect on people. :S;)

This thread has reminded me why i'm scared about the top of my wedding cake that has been in my freezer since last year. Oct 7th is closing quickly and I really don't want to have to eat any of that damned cake. I guess I'll have a piece just to satisfy the tradition...thats IT though!:D

LOL. the only thing in my fridge is beer, and the only thing in my cupboard is ramen. I just hate ramen.

I have a Hickory Farms gift basket from Grandma from...Christmas that I never ate. It's just sitting there on the kitchen counter (it's a rather small basket). The beef stick said it expired back in February. I think the processed cheese things say June. I'm sure the crackers, mustard, jelly and candy are still fine though. I guess I'll eat the non-expired things soon.

We're actually pretty similar in that...I won't say anymore. You know, don't want to insinuate anything.:P

Consider yourself lucky if you get away with only one piece. I insisted that we keep our wedding cake top and eat one piece a year until it was gone... five years! It wasn't good on our wedding day. My husband had to pour milk over it to make it palatable enough to eat. :D

Congratulations on your anniversary. :)

Try making the ramen with the beer, it's much more interesting that way. ;)



I will borrow your guinness cookbook, then. I'll eat cheap food, but I won't drink (or cook with!) cheap beer. :P
