Box Mac-n-cheese Expiration Date?

[flowerbug]

My last job was refrigeration piping. They make frozen pasta dinners. Can't donate them to a shelter but give them to the employees and the dumpster by the pallets if not sold by a certain date that doesn't exceed the sell by date. So many shelters could benefit if that wasn't a rule.

this conversation reminds me of when Mom worked for the trucking companies and at times they'd have damaged things that were edible we'd get by the case.

i really dislike food waste and try very hard to not have things spoil or not be used up. in the end though it still happens for a few things but the worms are ok taking that stuff and turning it into plant food so it really isn't wasted either.

i do know that some states are now working on food waste composting and digesting so that it doesn't end up in landfills - to me that's a good thing as then the compost can be used on farms or in gardens (where it belongs ). i still think all those little stickers on produce are annoying to deal with.

teen years are when you can usually inhale huge amounts of food when working hard. i remember them...

This quote gets stuck in my head more than I care to admit. Can we... get a video or tutorial of how to eat a chicken wing correctly?

LOL... No pictures, but I eat every bit of meat and cartilage on the wing- surprising how much there actually is. I spit out the bones one by one as I get the meat off of them. I used to crunch up the tiny bones too, but not so much now as I started wondering what those little bone splinters might be doing to my innards.

I'm relieved. Sometimes I would imagine someone darn near swallowing it whole.

Your joints will thank you for all the cartilage you ate as a child

I found two old boxes of pasta shells and sauce packet. Dogs loved it mixed with their kibble.

Mac and cheese for supper tonight. (with chili)

We're halfway through the last case of mac n cheese. I could have bought more...

we ate one box the past four days. first of all Mom added a little canned tomatoes to it. and we had hot dogs with it twice. the last time we added more tomatoes to it and i put hot sauce on it too with some extra vinegar as i was trying to use up the hot sauce and the end of a Western salad dressing bottle. it was all good but i'm not eating as much these days so i have to keep reminding Mom that portion sizes are half or less than what she thinks i'd eat. i scoop my own is my preference now.
