I have taken the head staggers and decided to bake this afternoon. We have apples and we have eggs. So I have decided to make an apple pie – or similar – and finally make some pickled eggs which has been on my to-do list since before we got the chooks.
I have all my baking ingredients in a plastic box in a cupboard. It is easy to keep them all in one place so flour doesn’t spill all over the place. . .
So, I need flour and possibly cinnamon. I went to the box and brought out a couple of packets of spices, coconut, herbs etc. It seemed to all be in reverse chronological order. One lot of stuff was dated “Dec 2003″, the next “April 2003″, and the next “Sept 2002″. EEEEK! Is it THAT long since I baked?
The worst was “Aug 2001″. Needless to say it all went in the bin. I am not at all squeamish about sell by dates – after all – how does the product know what the month is – but I draw the line at it being FIVE YEARS out of date!
On the other hand – look at the Baking Powder please. The date on it is “Jun 03 2094″. I am wondering what happens on June the 4th 2094 – does it suddenly combust?
Oh. Perhaps it means “June 2003″. . . Aw well – it LOOKS ok. Ish.
