One of the best parts of having Brad here is that I can treat him just like Lloyd and not feed him either.
Lauren: “I’m having leftovers. You guys are on your own.”
Lloyd and Brad: (silence because they are busy reading)
When Brad came to, he said he was in the mood for SpaghettiOs, and did we have any? Lloyd and I laughed because for YEARS we have kept two cans of SpaghettiOs in the cupboard that Brad bought long, long ago. We haven’t thrown them away because they are sacred or something.
Monday night, though, they served their purpose. Er, sorta.
Yuck! One and two years past their expiration? Brad tasted both but then was suitably afraid of the crawling bacteria that had been lurking and breeding since we were all in our mid-thirties. Lloyd ate his whole helping with gusto, because he is fearless and stupid when it comes to old food.
My taco was delicious, thank you for asking.
Brad says
I should have eaten a whole can. What if it gives Lloyd super powers? I’d really feel like an idiot then.
Lloyd says
What if my new super power is making people feel like an idiot?
Beth says
I don’t think that’s a new super power.
Jill says
HA! 🙂
Kristi says
You both are very brave. I couldn’t have done it.
Tacos are the better choice every time.
Lauren says
Amen, sister.
Peggy says
HA! That is hilarious!
I think as long as the can isn’t bulging, it’s ok. But it will be cool to see if Lloyd develops any special ingestion effects….maybe he’ll grow an extra arm, or at least a nub.
Curt says
So how about a can of biscuits? I have a can in my frig that expired 3 months ago. Is it ok to bake and eat?
Peggy says
I would say no….don’t eat those. Canned goods are vacummed packed, but biscuits’ cans are cardboard & junk can get in. Open them & see if they’re slimey & smelly. If not, give them a try….if you dare. Or you could always use them as modeling clay.
Curt says
Doesn’t heat kill most bacteria? That is the thought I use, so if I question anything, I heat the crap out of it. This philosophy hasn’t killed me yet.
Lloyd says
It would have killed you, but it only made you stronger instead.
Lloyd says
I threw out some ham from our refrigerator today. It did not taste bad, but it did not taste good either. And, as my father used to say, “You can’t trust a pig that don’t taste good”.
