I cleaned out a large portion of the kitchen cupboard this evening in order to get a handle on canned goods supplies and whatnot. These are old cupboards--very deep, with those waaayback corners that you need to practically crawl into the space in order to reach.

Found some stuff. A funnel I didn't know I had. Some neat cake pans. Two cans of sweetened condensed milk dated 1999.

What's the oldest thing you ever found in your cupboard?

Not food, but...I just recently found a container of body powder with an Albertson's price sticker on it. The last time I lived someplace with an Albertson's was either 1988 or 1980; I honestly don't remember whether we shopped in Albertsons in Texas or Florida.

I have a package of vacuum-packed Star Trek-themed coffee (a gift) in my cabinet that I've had at least 6 years.

My ten year old can of cream of mushroom soup.

A home canned item 22 years old.

Not actually mine -- it was in W's pantry. He suspects his Ex kept it because of who canned it. Not knowing this, and her being long gone to Ohio, I casrefully placed the bomb in the trash.

Other than the mouse we can't seem to discourage?

That would probably be one of the small bottles of champagne that we gave away as favors at our wedding (1993). Found one of those recently (probably the last one, though others may be in other cabinets).

Currently in cabinet here in Oregon:

1 can red chili beans from old college roommate, left behind in last college apartment, purchased circa 1984.

I do not dare open it. I believe it has had time for the contents to achieve sentience, and I think it may have plans for the world outside the walls of its cage.

Queue eerie music.

Fade to black.

burrito seasoning packet, dated 1998. I can't eat hot stuff, & the other residents make their Mexican spice mixes from scratch
