in the cupboard

being tired and hungry, we thought we'd have some porridge this morning, so I found the box with the oats in, and bung the requisite amounts of them, the milk and the water into a bowl, and placed it in the microwave.

and only then noticed that the bag said "best before April 03". How bad could it be, I thought? When they were cooked, they didn't smell very appetising, to be honest; so perlmonger had a rummage in the cupboard where we keep such things, and emerged triumphantly waving another bag of porridge oats.

"best before 2000", it said.

so we're still hungry.

it had to be done

budleysalterton drew this to my attention this afternoon - it is already ordered.
