You gotta love the Depression generation. That doesn't explain you, though.<br /><br />Cee lo does better as Gnarls Barkley, IMO. That might just be Danger Mouse, though.

The day I had to spend watching live feeds of May Day protesters (for work) was like the seventh circle of hell for me.<br /><br />On the food front...my Mom was the Penicillin Queen of the Western World. She would save stuff so long past its expiry date I am sure some of it ate some of the rest, just to survive the cold in her fridge. The longest-running fiction in our family was that she was going to make soup out of the leftover turkey the day after Thanksgiving. One year, when we had a side-by-side fridge with a tiny freezer, we had to unpack the freezer to find room for the tin foil wrapped turkey carcass. As we pulled out rock-solid bags of peas and spinach, we finally found space...if we removed the turkey carcass from LAST year (at least, I assume it was only last year). The poor thing had stalactites hanging from its ribs.<br /><br />Dianebuckndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748991555867283906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-82121724355629843632012-05-11T10:23:23.379-04:002012-05-11T10:23:23.379-04:00I'm really surprised it hadn't turned to d...I'm really surprised it hadn't turned to dust.Johnny Virgilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914217086250206369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-11751882531494050572012-05-11T06:03:57.542-04:002012-05-11T06:03:57.542-04:00I threw way six or seven boxes of Jello earlier th...I threw way six or seven boxes of Jello earlier this week.

The garbage can was not the place for that stuff; you should have saved it and then put it out for the Boy Scouts the next time they came around collecting food! ("Scouting for Food," maybe you don't have it in your parts?) Failing that, another great outlet would have been your local food pantry. The volunteers there would have been LTAO when it came in the door, you know they need a little humor in their lives. :-)<br /><br />Seriously, I know whereof I speak. I have volunteered for many years at my son's troop's Scouting for Food drive, and my favorite thing is surveying the "expired" goods table. This year it was absolutely overflowing with probably 800 items that we couldn't take. The real gems of the collection that I came across were a can of Campbell's Cream of Celery dated 1994 (this I handled like the unexploded grenade that it was - anyone up for "Cream of Botulism" for din-din?), and a can of "seafood paella." The latter is truly frightening. Not only is it expired, it is a tiny little thing, maybe 4 oz., and yet supposedly contains everything from shrimp to oysters to mussels like you would normally find in paella. I actually saved it and brought it home. My plan is to get my seafood-business brother to crack it open, as I don't dare...RiderWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679157278313699794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-4099381122692032802012-05-10T12:54:07.689-04:002012-05-10T12:54:07.689-04:00Being from The South, I have never had the pleasur...Being from The South, I have never had the pleasure of eating Maypo.
