Tackle It Tuesday - Expiration Dates
>> Tuesday, February 16, 2010
We've been talking about Expiration Dates on everything from food to medicine over at Everything Mom. I thought I was pretty good about "obeying" expiration dates though I had a sneaking suspicion that there were some items in my pantry & condiment collection that were probably a bit *ahem* past their prime.
I decided to go through my fridge & the pantry to see what I would find. WOW! It's amazing we're still alive! We had salad dressing that expired in 2007 and muffin mix that (I swear) I have moved 3 times (and we've been in this house almost 3 years....so ewwwww!). Some things don't have expiry dates so I had to take one for the team and taste them. Yep...I tasted rancid almond slivers & other culinary delights (more like disasters)!
I forgot to take "before" pictures but "after" I had tons more room in the pantry and the fridge is MUCH less cluttered.
So go check out what mysterious, scary, expired things are hiding in your pantry & fridge. I think you might be surprised. My next target is the medicine cabinet....I saw some cough syrup in their that expired in 2007. YUCK!
Head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom to see what everyone else tackled this Tuesday!
