Trust me, those expiration dates don't mean they can't be eaten! I've been cut off by floods and snow even though town is only three miles away. I grew up always having a supply of " something".
I grew up eating things like organ meats, dandelions, wild game in season, saving bacon grease, reusing and repairing things. Huh, guess I was poor, just didn't know it. I considered that normal. And I still like those things, when I can find them. They became comfort foods.
My parents bought their house during the war, on a dirt road next to a washed out bridge, miles from town. People actually cried when they saw the condition. They fixed it bit by bit. I still live in it, repairing it bit by bit. It's small, and I only use half of it anyway. Wish it was smaller!, Fortunately, I'm surrounded by people who appreciate the simple way of life. We all know what each other brings to the table. We help each other, we share. We watch out for each other. Life is good.
Now it is considered the "in" thing. Guess that makes me a trendsetter!
