Saltines..... good for curing morning sickness.

Ritz is alright for that too.

Is he hinting, perhaps?

I hoard crackers. We have boxes of cheese crackers,

ritz type crackers, saltines, animal crackers, and

regular and cinnamon graham crackers. I love

crackers. And my kids love crackers. LOL

Does he eat crackers?

That is very funny though.

Wait until he falls asleep at night and whisper in his ear... we're out of

chocolate, we're out of chocolate.

Does he have issues with " freshness " ?

My dh does. BIG TIME. There is SO much bread, rolls, tortillas, etc., in

my cupboard it's ridiculous. He will NOT eat anything that is NOT fresh, so

he goes out and buys new stuff, even if the " old " stuff is only a couple

days old.

This is really one of my pet peeves.

This is Enrique. Except that he cannot go out and buy new stuff.

But he would like to. Even frozen food worries him.

Mine too! It gets expensive.

FWIW, my mum gave me a dark chocolate Cherry Ripe easter egg

again this year, and I don't like Cherry Ripe. And I told

her last year. I have never eaten Cherry Ripe bars. I also

hate dark chocolate, and have since I was a small child. I

can't understand why she bought it two years in a row? It

seems like she bought it specially, too. My son loves them

so I arranged a swap for plain chocolate when we got home

Good point, . He is awfully absent-minded...one of

the running

jokes in our family, in fact. Too bad he doesn't " just

like "

chocolate...I could get into hoarding chocolate.

Penny,

I must have huge issues myself! LOL I save things I know I will

probably never eat. Habit from my mother I guess. And one time I saw

a container of milk in the fridge that was the day before experation

date so I took it out and put it on the counter to throw away. Well,

I forgot about it and left it out over night. The next morning I

found it on the counter and was going to throw it away but there was

no room in the garbage so I put it back in the fridge with the intent

to throw it out later. Guess who comes up stairs with a bowl of

cereal? OMG! Jeff never eats breakfast! I didnt, couldnt tell him

about the milk. I wanted to gag, but he had already almost finished

the cereal. YUK!

PS Why did I put the milk back in the fridge if I was going to throw

it away? Well, I thought it would smell up my kitchen.

>>> I will not trust my nose to tell me if it is bad <<<

LOL... I was the same, until I actually SMELLED milk that is

turning. Wow, that smell is unmistakable. If you are not

sure whether milk is off by the smell, then it's not off. I

can now drink it when it's two days out. The date they put

on there is conservative, just to cover their own butts. As

long as your fridge keeps cold it will last beyond that

date. You can use a fridge thermometer to check it - the

temp should be no hotter than -2 Celsius and preferably -5.

Now, can anyone convert that to Fahrenheit by any chance?
