Let's Play "What's wrong with this picture?"

Okay, so this looks like a seemingly harmless bag of individual, serving size popcorn, yes? It is still in the packaging, the branding on it looks inviting, it's 94% fat free (please refer to buy only healthy crap phase in previous posts).

The problems here is more along the lines of timing...brace yourself.

When viewed up close, the writing on this package notes that this product has expired. Not one year ago, not even two years ago, but two and a half years ago. The sad and sickest part about this? I have only lived in Oklahoma for a year or so. Which means that I packed this up and moved if from Orlando.

I would say "Come on, you all have done it too" but in this case, I am about 99.8% positive that I am the only one. (See what I was saying about the whole hoarding thing from before?) Who saves 2 1/2 year old popcorn?!

Me, apparently.

I am going to be home now for a good stretch. So this makes Day 11 of meals from the pantry. I think on the menu tonight will be some sort of chicken with canned corn covered in cream of mushroom soup. I am  told by relatives that this is something that they make fairly often. I feel like it could be good. I am going to try to see if that nasty rice from the pouch that I attempted last week can be doctored up to fit the bill here.

Additionally, I am running out of smoothie stuff. I am going to have to go to the grocery store at some point because I really am running low (as in completely out of) all fresh fruit. I was thinking about bending some of my rules too to add some fresh vegetables to the mix as well (especially because that bag of fresh broccoli that I had been counting on is now brown and slimy) but I have frozen broccoli, frozen cauliflower, canned corn, and mushrooms and both canned and frozen green beans (did I mention that I don't even LIKE green beans?) I also have about 6 cans of bean beans (again, I will mention that I don't like bean beans) so I will hold off on the rule bending until I am really out of veggies.

I unearthed these frozen vitatop muffin things from the freezer this morning for "breakfast". It wasn't horrid. I mean, if you cover anything with enough butter you can "fix" it. I think I may start making muffins or pancakes or something ahead of time for breakfast so that I can a) use up all the pantry stuff and b) have something quick and easy to grab for breakfast on the way out the door.

Either way, I hope to meet some sort of goal...
