Vintage Watch

I want these to expire so I can eat them all. Think they'll last until 3/30/10?

I'll probably have to hide them.

Cocoa Powder

I put this in the blender with coffee. And ice. And sugar. I think I bought this many many years ago. I once thought you could stick it in heated milk and have hot chocolate. They don't really tell you it's unsweetened on the box and that you really, really need to add sugar. This one is still good. It will probably be good forever.

Don't judge me.

Best. Blender. Ever.

I love this blender. It is model number 8 from the late 1960s or early 1970s (very early 70s). One of the oldest blenders in the world. It is better than my blender and I love it so much.

Recently I replaced the bottom blade part since I broke it. Now I can make vintage things in this vintage blender. Like frappuccinos out of vintage ingredients. You'll see tomorrow. :)

Delightfully Vintage Dill Relish

This stuff expired in December 2007. I figured this out as it was almost down to the bottom of the jar. It's still fabulous!!

Wholly Guacamole

This stuff was supposed to be used or frozen last September!!!!

It wasn't the best but it could have been worse I guess. I tried to like it. :)

Salad Dressing Surprise

I was innocently making a salad and looked for a salad dressing, without fish, to use. I pulled out this dressing and was taking the paper label off the top to unscrew the cap when I noticed that the expiration date was November 14, 2005.



The taste isn't stellar, it's more vinegar than red wine but it'll do in a pinch.

Feliz cinco de mayo, un poco tarde

As a late celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I pulled this gem of a burrito out of the freezer. Late 90s is the best guess as to its purchase date.

If you look closely, you can see giant ice crystals on it. Surprisingly, this didn't taste freezer burnt, although (not surprisingly) it didn't taste good, either. According to the wrapper, it was a chicken burrito, but it was more like refried beans and some small gritty pieces. The tortilla also took a lot of beverage to get it to go down. Pretty dried out and crackly. Probably the microwave cooking method didn't help. I'm not a fan of microwaved burritos, but I was in a hurry and the oven method took too long. Not my favorite vintage lunch (or was it breakfast?), I can tell you that.
