To avoid this… December 13, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Dr. Jay , trackbackYesterday, I tried to go back to sleep. That failed, so I got up to make some cookies. I made the dough and it is still chilling in the fridge. Gotta roll it tonight.
Anyway, I had to hunt for some of the ingredients, so I cleaned the top most shelf of the pantry. I found a bag of assorted goodies.
In this bag, I found several bags of potato chips from Panera, a Terra Chips blue chips from Jet Blue and several packages of Oreos. In addition, I found two muffins. This scared me. I took a closer look at these muffins. They looked in perfect shape. I searched the packages for the expiration date… There was none.
Then it hit me. Oh My G-D! We got these in March of 2004 when we went to Buffalo to watch my nephew play in a tournament. These muffins were 3 years old and still looked good!
ICK ICK ICK!
This has lead me to create a new rule in my house: Do NOT, under any circumstance, eat food in a package that does NOT have an expiration date. G-d knows what makes that stuff stay untouched by mold. But if the wee beasties are afraid to eat it, so am I!
(Dr. Jay has now been banned from collecting random packages of food simply "because he can". Damn grad school mentality. He started this habit in grad school and I can’t convince him that he doesn’t need free food.")
ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK!

LSP just pulled a hockey puck bagel out of the backpack we used for her when we went to Puerto Rico. In October. Ewwwwww. And it wasn’t even moldy.
Two month old bagel notwithstanding, I’ve become a serial tosser. I’m married to a serial collector. And I’ve just given orders to never, ever, ever put leftover food in the basement fridge without my explicit and prior consent.
