 Posted: 21:57 - 24 Oct 2022 Post subject: Unexpectedly whilst tidying up... |
 |
|
I found a biscuit tin containing some twigs of decarboxylated whatevs whatevs which I was apparently planning to grind down and make into tea
I can't quite remember when that was. But I know it was a very messy period of life.
I also found 14 jars of beyond-sell-by date cooking sauces (belonging to the Italian exhusb) as far back as 2014. So I threw them out. Oi, Nostalgia ... No!!
I still haven't found my 600 fucking euros.
I'm going to have to give airtime to the fact that someone may have actually stolen it.
But that's a bit like having to give in and stop believing that men did really land on the moon.
And I'm not going to do that
I also found a double egg-cup with Betty Boops on them which belonged also to the Eyetie. It looks quite old. So I am going to give it to my sister when I am down there next, cos she is Betty Boop mad
or just mad... it runs in the family, obvs. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Talking of unexpected finds.
Not the most Earth shattering find, but it still made me smile.
Going through a box of ‘stuff’ ,I found £8 in pound coins yesterday . ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Speaking of out of date, I used to habitually raid supermarkets in January for Christmas puddings - they get better as they get older. I just ignored the BBD.  |
Well I was gonna.
Cos when I was married to him, we often ate quite weirdy things in the name of foody-ism. And there was plenty of things we ate that we should have chucked out. But we lived to tell the tale.
Even when I cleared his flat, they were mostly out of date by then: he pegged it in March 2020 and I threw out a LOAD of stuff that was way too manky to risk trying - but these were the more possible ones, at that point I might have been prepared to eat a jar of ChipShop Curry or Hunters Chicken sauce dated from 2018, but not now
Besides, there had also been a can of tomato soup that had exploded at the back of my kitchen cupboard ... out of the side of the tin. Not the top or bottom, very weird it was. Made a bit of a mess but not as much as you'd think.
They're probably perfectly alright, but I'd only keep them for another 2-3 years and still not eat them.
I can't even leave them for the Food Bank, cos everyone these days is so entitled, they'd turn their nose up at out of date food, "Ewww, dangerous, health & safety nazi alert!"
I'd definitely give that rice pudding a go, though.

I think some places must take out of date food (noting I'm referring to stuff that has a "best before", rather than a "use by") because when I was in Co-op the other week, the loaf of bread I tried to buy apparently was out of date and the shop assistant said "oh I'm sorry, you can't have that", it was the last loaf. I did say I wasn't bothered but he stood firm. I then queried what will happen to it and he said it went to some charity or something, so presumably some places do take some food that's past the BBE. That said, even such places may furrow their brow at 3 years past. ____________________ TG. |

Taking through a cupboard in a spare room and found my Klein heated waistcoat.
Brilliant.

I seem to be on a roll with this ‘unexpected finds’ lark.
I knew I was going to need to buy some more very expensive paint for my boat.
However , going through all the stowage cupboards on the boat, I did find two unopened tins of the right paint .
The previous owner had left them there and I only just found them this morning.
Plus there were the correct thinners and a couple of unused brushes and half a dozen sheets of sandpaper.
That’s saved a good few pennies.
Happy Pepperami is happy .
Blimey! If you think motorbikes are expensive, try boats , kin ell!!! ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Everything lost is down the back of the sofa. No matter how big it is. The back of the sofa is related to Dr. Who's pockets. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
