Out with the Old

I was going through my spice racks and I came across this jar of beef cubes.

Beef cubes 1.

I couldn’t recall the last time I ever used beef cubes for anything. 

How old are they?

Beef cubes 2.

Hmm. I probably don’t need those any more.

My freezer drawer has been getting awfully full lately, so I decided to take this opportunity to clean it out. There were a whole bunch of undated frozen chicken thighs in there. I’ve been careful to date everything I put in there for at least a year now, so those must be over a year old. Throw those out.

There were also two partially used packages of frozen shrimp. One on either side of the drawer. At the bottom. Can’t remember the last time I made shrimp.

Oh, and there were some oatmeal cookies dated slightly over a year ago. Amazingly they’re still pretty good.

Finally I have some room in the freezer compartment again!
