My mother’s trying to kill me!
We just had a visit from my mother recently and out came the goodies, vegetables and fruit from her garden, home made pickled produce and soft cheeses. Yum yum! We were also given an open tin of caramel, that didn’t last long I can assure you, as well as a bottle of open thickened cream. No worries if they won’t use the whole bottle I can put it to good use, at least that’s what I thought. I was getting ready to use that cream this morning when I noticed the edges of a “reduced to clear” sticker. DING DING DING alarm bells started ringing. That gentle voice inside my head said “look at the expiry date” so I did.. AAAAHHHHH… it expired three weeks and three days ago. It was now official… my mother’s trying to kill me… or at least give me food poisoning. (Oh I know you’re reading this, don’t tell me it was still good….three weeks past….three weeks! ) From now on all well intended food offerings will be thoroughly inspected before making it into my fridge!

Sounds like something my MiL would do!
What? In my day you called three week old cream CHEESE! and had you kept it four weeks you’d call it ‘blue cheese’!
Oh! I am positive my Mother-In-Law wouldn’t “try” to do it - she actually would. Just jokes (well fingers crossed it’s just a joke!)
Yes “mother dearest” and you also walked 10 km in the snow to get to school and your washing was done in a bucket with a washboard and cake of soap! (that you killed the pig to use the fat to make the soap)
tehehehe! You two are funny! Oh, man! Mrs Danielle’s Mum she makes you sound just like what my Mum used to sound like! Psst! Danielle, if it truly is anything like my Mum, that 10km in the snow, was Mooree Street to Stafford Primary School - in a light drizzle of rain!!!! hehehe!
I had to walk 11 kms in the sand to get to school and we NEVER washed that’s what the ocean is for!! hee hee but the cheese was ‘noice’ x
