Attack of the 2008

So I guess I just keep stuff?

I unearthed this box of drinking chocolate from the back of the pantry yesterday and I got really excited because, hello, it's drinking chocolate and that's always tasty.

So I dropped some into a cup and just sort of mixed it will milk and nuked it in the microwave. I drank it all up...and it was really tasty with the exception of a little bit of chocolate clumping where it didn't melt. So I finish it and go over to the trash just to see what the directions say about how to actually make it

And right below the instructions was this little gem of a statement:

"Best if use by August 2008"

I...am SUCH a loser hahaha

But I am not dead yet...so that's always good.

(Upon closer thought I recalled that I actually got that box at Christmas...2008)

  1. Haha, I have some unsweetened chocolate that expired some time ago and my mom said that it wouldn't kill me if I kept it and used it. Apparently it just affects the taste the longer you keep it.

  2. In other news, my mom said that several Chinese chicken dishes call for peanut butter and that you could replace that with almond butter if you wanted. (I thought I should ask her after I got done asking her what to do with the apple butter and pumpkin butter I spontaneously bought at this orchard I found.

  5. I am starting to think that it is on it's way out the door actually. I am getting bored with my random creations AND I just found out recently that the Sam's club by me that discontinued my FAVORITE bread brought it back. I am so so close to caving. Plus I have been having to make exceptions to stuff...
