A Breakfast Parable

Once upon a time, a girl woke up early on a Saturday morning, all excited to make pancakes. She whipped up said breakfast deliciousness, but they turned out more like a sad excuse for crepes than the lofty little syrup sponges she was looking for. Her sweet significant other, not being one to complain, said that they were just fine. But she knew better.

So she checked the recipe again, only to find that she hadn't left anything out. And then it hit her. She checked the date on the baking powder and sure enough, it had just a few weeks left before the "best by" date.

Moral of the story: purge the pantry.  That, or eat at Waffle House. : )

PS - I got rid of a lot more than Baking Powder today.  Who knew that things like cake mix and salad dressing had expiration dates?
