One of the pitfalls of having a computer in my kitchen is that.....it is in my kitchen! So tempting to sit down and see what's up in the garden every time I walk past it.

I had thought I might watch a good old sappy movie, but Judith Light is nowhere to be found on the TV today.

So.....I am being somewhat productive. I have a pan of gingerbread in the oven (smells good) and I am cleaning out my pantry! HUGE job! So many cans and things have gotten pushed to the back of the shelves, so I am taking everything out, tossing what is no longer good, cleaning the shelves, then putting everything back in some kind of order. There are 4 deep shelves, and so far, I have done the top one. Time to get back to it. I think I will do a shelf at a time, and reward myself with computer time after each shelf. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Back later. Want some gingerbread? It just came out of the oven..Mmmmmm...

Patti, have I welcomed you? I have missed some posts lately, so if I have not welcomed you, WELCOME. And if I already have, we'll just blame it on a senior moment.

Glad your DD is coming home, but too bad she will take your computer room. Oh well, come back as soon as she leaves!...LOL!

Yes, this place is addictive all right. Don't fight it. Join in anytime, we are glad to have you here......BB

Good question, Seren. The soups are dated, and so are some of the other things but the other canned vegetables aren't, so I'm just winging it with some of the stuff. I just found 8 cans of evaporated milk that will go out of date in December. Fudge, anyone?

I miss Judith today. Can't bear to watch her on that infomercial though. I only like seeing her when she is miserable and suffering, don't enjoy seeing her happy..LOL!.....BB

BB, Judith Light plays an DA on "Law and Order SVU" (the friday night one) and she is one TOUGH cookie. No tears or hysterics for her! It seems to be a semi-regular role for her, she isn't on every week but quite a bit this season. KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Mmmmm, mmm - I love gingerbread! And I know all about cleaning cupboards out and tossing the expired stuff!!!

here's a gross story - when I was cleaning out at my mom's, I came across a bag of currants that were so old they had crumbled and, in fact, looked like some kind of dried spice or herb. I told DSD and this very nice neighbour about them as we were sitting having coffee. They both got this funny look on their faces. Louie (DSD) had asked the neighbour if she knew how to make butter tarts with currants as it was my mom's specialty and he loves them. She said no but that she'd try, so she took a bag of currants home. they both said the tarts were disgusting and now they know why. She'd never used currants before and didn't know what they should look like .......... I nearly tossed my cookies as they decribed the look and taste of the tarts!!!!!

So, the moral of the story - keep cleaning BB, you never know who'll try and use that expired stuff - lol!!!!!

I've never seen that show, Kacee, but I'll try and remember to watch it next week. I do like her. I remember her from years ago, when I used to watch the soaps. She was Karen (a bad, hoochie mama type) in One Life to Live.....BB

Eeeeeuuuu, Gross! Yes, I agree, it's time to toss some of this stuff before someone eats it and gets sick. My DH would never think to look at a date on something before he ate it. He just assumes if it's in a can, it'll last forever!.....BB
