Hubby insists that the pie was delicious, so no harm done!<br /><br />Susan - hi. I'm thrilled with my new Dyson. It's a rollerball one, so it turns so easily and not only is it very light for me to carry around, it is also very light to push as well, so I'm a happy bunny now!!!<br /><br /><br />Duncan - hi there. Nice to see you here today. I'm afraid that the pie would have been in the bin if I had been here, but it just goes to show. Hubby is still alive and kicking!! Yes, I was only a child when rationing was in force, but it must have been pretty hard on families, especially those with children.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-71637765671884386162011-09-15T09:48:38.958+01:002011-09-15T09:48:38.958+01:00We're (the younger generation!) so lucky to no...We're (the younger generation!) so lucky to not live under such terrible times and food rationing.

Your hubby and mine sound alike where the 'old' food is concerned. I won't even smell something that has even one good day left on it! And Karo, will eat on past the date.

As for the Hoover I love the lighter ones that work as well as the heavy clunkers. I don't have grandchildren yet but my sis is about to have her baby anytime and since she lives with me I imagine I will soon have my fill of infant crying. haha.<br />BTW Carol is wonderfu. Love her to death. As for your reference to WW2 I'm very glad you put that in there. I don't think many people understand what that time was like.

Completely different from what you get in supermarkets. It's just like drinking apples!!<br /><br />Grammy Goodwill - yes, we have so many wonderful fruits available to us now, don't we? Mmmm, I love apple sauce, especially with pork.<br /><br />Teresa - I did smile about Ron's mum saving all those old things!! LOL! But I guess if you were brought up in the depression when everything was so precious, I guess you would learn not to waste anything.<br /><br />kneesandpaws - I guess it is the stuff of life, but I do worry that people might find it a bit boring!! Yes, Eli's comment made me smile as well, I must admit!<br /><br />Retired English Teacher - thank you! We used to scrape the mould off - I can remember that when I was pretty young, but, as you say, it never seemed to do us any harm, did it?! My hubby thinks that this is why children and people get so many allergies these days, because everything is so sanitised, and mums are afraid to let their children get dirty.<br /><br />Pat - I'm glad you like the new header photos. Isn't that funny, that with you and your hubby, it's the other way around about throwing things out. I agree though, sometimes I think we do waste an awful lot of food these days.<br /><br />Orchid - hallo dear friend. Your comments always make me smile!!

I toss it out the moment it reaches the date giggle. A new dyson, very nice. My sweet husband picked me up a second hoover for the upstairs last year I really like it too. In the US they don't hoover the house, giggle. I had to explain that to someone once. I say vacuum the house now. But some things never change for me, like washing up liquid and a few others I can 't seem to change...

Haha, my husband hates seeing me throwing away Tofu and things just a couple of days after use-by date. I just worry too much, I know(^^;) <br />Oh, I remember having and enjoying seasonal fruits and veggies when little. Yes, it is amazing to see banana all year around now, isn't it!!! <br />You taught me words "glut.blase.scintillating" today. And "Hoover".

I am a lot like him, but my husband is always going through everything and throwing out thing that have 'expired.' My mother would always just scrape the green stuff off the cheese, or off the jelly, and we never died. I am a bit more cautious these days than I once was though because you never know about the places where food is processed these days. I think when we canned our own jelly, then we knew more what to expect.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-41985824388506091802011-09-13T04:22:17.313+01:002011-09-13T04:22:17.313+01:00It's the stuff of life that makes good writing...It's the stuff of life that makes good writing.
