on friday last week, i finally decided i needed to eat some food. i guess death is the only thing that can kill my appetite.
anyway, when i went hunting for some "comfort food" i saw that comfort had clearly left my house. nothing was really there, i had kind of neglected grocery buying last week.
i spotted a box of rice a roni on the top shelf, and remembered that my friend barbara gave it to me when we worked together, it was a gag gift of some sort (cannot remember the gag). the last time i worked with barb was probably about 7 to 8 years ago.
so, checked the box. expiration date: august 2003.
in my depressed state and need for food, i really didn't give a darn. so, i made the whole box, and ate most of it. and i have to tell you, that was the bestest rice a roni i have EVER eaten.
i may buy a nuther box for when the next devastating moment hits. it's always good to be prepared.

May it be another eight years before you need it.
yes!!!
that would be really nice :)
those non-perishables are pretty amazing, aren't they?
Amazing? I think they're flat-out scary. I wonder if you increased your shelf life by eating that??
oh it was yummy.
i am not sure, but i think if i freeze dry my whole garden it might last that long too :))
the south dakota treat.
