LOL!!!

I don’t drink but I’m closer to Steve than any of them. My kids are home from college, and they keep trying to throw out the expired cans of food from previous prepping. I won’t let them.

Before they came home I had a can of tuna fish that expired in 2016. And I fed them a can of turnip greens that expired in 2017 and some frozen vegetables from 2016.

Some of the frozen stuff is just too freezer burned. I’ve been trying to go through it and clean out what will never get used.

Yesterday, I had some sugar free powerade drinks in the back refrigerator from 2016. They were really good with a little more liquid stevia.

I’m making a masked run to the grocery store once a week for fresh meats, milk and eggs. But I feel good about how stocked we are. We could go at least 2 months with a hard lock down.

For lunch yesterday, Shrimp and kale alfredo. Bag of frozen tail off shrimp, sauteed in a stick of butter until partially pink, a bag of frozen seasoning mix (diced onions, celery, peppers), a dash of shrimp boil, and a couple of tablespoons of basil, a family size bag of knoxx alfredo, replaced one cup of water with another cup of milk. Microwaved a bag of frozen kale and added it to the mix in the last few minutes.

Really good.
My daughter said we’re living our best quarantined life.

How long past a date can you go? What’s your criteria? Smell?

I watched a documentary formed around the idea of gleaning (Agnes Varda’s THE GLEANERS AND I, France), and one of the subjects decided he would live for a whole year eating the throwaways from restaurants, just to test himself/conserve. He used the smell test and said he never got sick.
