In my defense, it was a very deep cabinet.

.

I was sifting through our kitchen cabinet the other day for a box.

Yes, I admit it…. every once in a while I cheat and use Shake and Bake. It’s easy and the husband loves it. So sue me.

But as I was sifting through boxes, cans and bags I came across this:

Hmm. It looked a little different from the first one I pulled out… and when I turned it over I realized why.

Proof positive I need to clean out the cabinets more often.

🤣

      1. You can find lots of episodes on youtube. Sometimes they have to spit out something and wash their mouth out with the antidote. It’s equal parts interesting and gross. 😀

  1. Funny. We just cleaned cabinets too. Found a package of dry onion soup mix so old there was no Best Before date on it. No idea how old it was. We were scared to open it, so, straight into the garbage.

      1. Some things we used, like the Hamburger Helper with BB 2010 which could not go bad. Dried pasta and a spice package. But the soup mix did not feel like a powder anymore. It was kind of squishy.
        Nowadays we make our own hamburger helper and shake n bake. Much better than the store-bought stuff.

      2. We bought a few boxes of HH to get the basic idea. Guess we only used the one, DYI was better. Obviously we forgot about the second box till just Thursday night.
        Hubby deserves his way on something after building your rock garden for you.

  2. My BEST WHEN USED BY date expired long ago, but my wife still uses me to do dirty work like taking out the garbage, washing her car, and unclogging drains. I tried telling her politely that my name is Mister Muse, not Mr. Clean, and she told me to wipe that smile off my face (which wasn’t even dirty). But at least she can’t say I’m good for nothing.

  3. My wife went through the pantry about a year or so ago and found a few things whose expiration date was a “little” past due…depending on what one’s idea of “little” is. These things happen. I think it’s one of those deals where they try to increase sales by having aggressive expiration dates. I’m sure that’s still good eats. Would I like some of it? Um, no thank you.

  4. I still like Shake and Bake but I have become a bit of a mad scientist in the kitchen lately. Much like our friend from Alberta, I’ll make my own from time to time. Next up, I’m doing chili cheese Frito crumbs with Tikka Masala on thin boneless pork chops in the air fryer. I’m cautiously optimistic.

  5. OMG. I hate it when that happens and I think it happens to all of us at some point.
    I can say with positivity that I’ve seen the commercials and I know about Shake and Bake, but I’ve never used it. I’m sure I’m missing out on something good though…
