Macadamia Crayons

I saw them and got excited so I ate them. I was so excited I had found macadamia nuts that I didn't notice for a while that they tasted just like crayons.

Then I did it again. I didn't have my camera handy so I put them back in the cupboard and found another package which I opened. Those must have been finished but I forgot and got excited once more when I found the package again.

Luckily I remembered to sniff them before trying. I swear they smell like crayons. Ick.

Even the Cats Won't Touch This

They're from 2007 and 0% of the cats I've tried to feed them to have agreed to eat them.

Dried Up Fruits

This was found in the cabinet opened and recently expired. Now it is gone.


I didn't eat any but it seems it was good. I think I've eaten raisins years past when I should have. They don't really do much but get a little bit drier. But then again, they are dried fruits.

Ooooh, Powdered Coffee

I got crazy cleaning out a cabinet and found this old (probably from about 2000) packet of powdered coffee. You mix it with milk and it makes iced coffee and good to have around but not especially tasty.



Expecting the worst I doctored it up quite a bit. It wasn't bad though.

Garden Update

It took a few days but the sprouting shallots that were planted are sprouting up quite nicely, perhaps they will produce some not-so vintage baby shallots!! :)

Desperate for Coffee

Looking for non-flavored coffee the other day I did some excavating in the freezer and came up with this. I'm not a big fan of flavored coffees but desperate time call for desperate measures. Guess I'll have to find out what Snick-A-Doodle flavor tastes like.

It was only $2.99 so I'm not expecting quality here.


I did choose this flavor due to the expiration date. It claims it's best when used before 11/08, but it was buried in the freezer with all the other treasures so, here goes!

It tasted fine I guess, it's just coffee and probably would be good for a few more years in the freezer.

Happy 4th!

These old cameras will be used to celebrate the 4th, I've sent them up to Maine to find some panoramic views so they can finally be developed. They both say best if used by 1996 so it will be interesting to see what is on them after 13+ years of being in the freezer.
