I don't know where you're from, but we might be related. The
agricultural economy would be devastated if I didn't buy at least one
head of lettuce, some celery, and a couple of pieces of fruit to go bad
every week. Ditto the eggs, but I hope to learn pysanky soon, so they
won't be a total waste. With all the hunger in the world, letting food
waste is at least a minor sin, but by the time I am hungry for that
orange, it has turned into penicillin. (What do you mean I haven't been
to the store since May? The frozen dinners haven't gone bad yet.)
My other bad habit is teas. I like exotic flavors of tea and herb teas,
but not real often. I have teas in my cabinet that are 20 years old, no
kidding. Does anyone know if they might still be good? How long does
tea last in captivity? I am tempted to try them, but am afraid it is
stale or some intresting microbes may have taken up residence. Shouli I
just toss it and start over? Looking at my tea collection brings back
fond memories of college, and I am 44! Any suggestions?
