It's been a bit of a slow start on my purge project but the good news is this: I started.
First place of purge was the cupboards. I know someone who is a great baker, but unfortunately, I've come to learn some of her baked goods taste stale and it occurred to me it could be she has used expired ingredients. I determined not to replicate that baking error, but because I also have a problem throwing food away, I have had a tendency to hold onto packaged goods past their "Use before date." No more! I scourged my cupboard for such items and much to my dismay, discovered more than just a handful of items that absolutely had to go!
Project Purge has begun!
Nick just made some "Jiffy" muffins that were HORRIBLE. And then he looked at the expiration date and it was 2009!! Needless to say, we had a good laugh! But reading this blog has inspired me.... I'm gonna go home and clean out the pantry!
