Oh, I should add that this would be PERFECT with some parmesan cheese sprinked on it, but I have none and as I said, this is a cleaning out project, so I can't go get any

I think that's why I do this!

I grew up in a house where we had food stacked from floor to ceiling in the pantry but my Mom would always say we had no food in the house.  I'd point to the pantry or the freezer that you couldn't even fit a frozen pizza into and she'd say "I don't know if any of that is any good anymore"

She STILL does that!

I go to her house and try to make a sandwich, I'll pull out the mayo and she'll say "Oh, don't use that, that's old".  But when I try to throw it out she insists on putting it back in there!

Weird family I come from

I usually do a pretty quick turn around with most of my food.

I did that with the girl. She wanted some bagels. I couldn't remember the last time we bought any, but she ate one and didn't get sick .

We had a horrible breakfast event due to some bad pancake/waffle batter!

We at least check the expiration date on mac & cheese now. We do learn-lol

Yeah, I got a box and a half of pancake batter I'll be eating over the next seven to ten days

Hope none of that has gone bad.

I'm usually a good boy and put a shiny new penny into the food drive barrel at work. every little bit helps.
christmas its a nickle.

I donated a lot of food after I found out about my allergies. I think my friends loved it, they all got free food! (At least, the perishable stuff that I couldn't donate to the food bank.)

But yes, we do that sometimes. I'll refuse to go shopping because we still have food in the cupboard. This is all stuff that we say we like and wouldn't give away. I notice we get in funks where we eat the same thing all the time and just don't eat the stuff in our cupboard!

Exactly! I went through a tuna phase. I had tuna noodle casserole, tuna salad, etc. Then of course, I got tired of tuna. I now have 3 cans of tuna in the cupboard. I'll go home, open the cupboard, and say, "I could have tuna... Nah." Or, I'll say, "I'll make some tuna salad the next time I bake bread." Then I bake the bread and forget all about the tuna salad until after the bread is gone.
