I’ll bring the pie

We’re headed to a friends’ house for Thanksgiving. They are doing the dinner, so I said I’d bring the pies.

Originally, it was just a pecan pie. But, dear Mr. Serious wants pumpkin, too. Of course, after a trip to the grocery store for all of the ingredients.

I’ve never done pumpkin pie, so I pull out my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook and find the recipe. I have to get some spices and the pumpkin, but I see that it calls for evaporated milk.

I think to myself…I’m pretty sure I just saw a can of evaporated milk in the cabinet.

I go and look and I find it. Woo hoo! One less thing to buy.

Then, I look for the expiration date. July 31, 2006!!!!!

How has this been around this long? And, even more troubling…we’ve moved twice in that time. What does that say about me.

Don’t worry. I threw the can out, and added it to my list.

I’ll be bringing the pie with the freshest ingredients!!

Seriously, see more posts

    Oh I’ve done that before. I am in charge of the pumpkin pies every year to take to my MIL’s.

    Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

    Oh some of the expired things I have found in our pantry. One can made it through the move with us and it was back from when we started dating 1999! Yep that can of beans went in the garbage.

    Hilarious, but I've got you beat. My sister in law was making a PB & J for lunch over here one day and she pulled out the PB and said, WHOA! She then proceeded to show me the 2004 expiration date. YIKES!

    Seriously when we moved out of our house of 14 years…in our deep freezer were meats that has been in there for SEVEN years. Sick. My Dad said we had to keep them because they had been frozen so they were still good. NEVER, are you crazy? But he did. And he used them. Glad I was in Utah!

    Have a great thanksgiving!!1

    I think it’s the pantry elf. The one who eats stuff mysteriously and puts things in there that expired a looong time ago.

    Totally not your fault,don’t worry. lol

    Hilarious…I need to save this link on my favorites. You make me laugh. I didn't use any of my baking stuff until recently. I think had a bag a flour last for 6 years once and moved twice in that timeframe as well. Well…did I use it? Probably some of it..did I admit that>?
