UMM. . .You’re Not Really Going to Eat That

My husband made pancakes for us a few days ago. We had the mix on hand, I took strawberries out of the freezer, and the whipped cream was left from a couple of weeks ago. The pancakes were delicious.

After we were finished eating, and I don’t know what prompted him to do this, but my husband checked the date on the pancake mix.

He said, “Um, this mix expired last June.”

I don’t know how to insert the wide-eyed emoji here, but if I could, I would put it here.

Did we throw it away?

Well. . .

There weren’t any bugs in it. The pancakes were delicious. None of us got sick.

We are going to cook with it again, at least until the COVID quarantine is over.

What is something you are willing to eat past the expiration date and how far past are you willing to go?
