Actually, I think the brand name is Dempsters. It was Texas Toast style thickness.
Why am I describing bread? Well, last Saturday I was busy in some sort of meeting meaning that I was unable to take the grocery shuttle to the market.
Probably for the best though, I mean I usually end up spending WAY too much on food. It’s not even the junk food type or anything like that. Its the bloody meats that are expensive.
But anyway, back to the loaf of bread…
I was starting to struggle to find something to eat earlier today. There’s only so much ramen that you can eat.
Actually it was only one package with which I added some cayenne and pre-cooked meatballs for a hearty lunch. It’s not much, especially compared to first term. Man, back then me and Steve were really eating like poor students. We went through a 24 pack of ramen in less than a week
So yeah, I look in the back of the fridge and I find this loaf of bread that I had forgotten. Immediately I could hear my mind going ding ding ding ding ding. Oh, but then I saw the “Best Before” date. It read “MA28″. Well, I took the loaf out, showed it to Yvonne, and asked her, “do you think it’s still OK?”
Well gee, that’s a silly question.
She did warn me not to eat the thing, but when I reached in and took a piece out I could find absolutely no sign of moldy or fuzzy growth. I took a deep breath in the bag, and hey, it still smelled like bread–perhaps a tad stale, but maybe still edible. I decide to take the bold step and stick two pieces in the toaster.
I topped it off with raspberry jam, and slowly downed the pieces. There was nothing wrong that my taste buds could sense. Although I do remember thinking about how very VERY stale it was. I also remember remembering that I had thought the same thing when I ate a slice or two three weeks earlier.
Well, I survived. It’s not that I’m poor, it’s just that I’m too lazy to take the bus out to the supermarket.
At least the bread was still alright. I’m not even going to go near that carton of Vanilla Hazelnut Soy Beverage that I tried once and never got around to finishing. I think I bought that carton around early May.
I shudder to think what it looks like inside that thing.
