Father in law is cleaning his pantry and has boxes of canned goods and cake/cookie mixes he will not use. The expiration date has passed on some of these. How do you know when it is too old. I plan to keep part of it, but some things I would like to give a needy family if it is still good. Thanks for the help. 1|1|Cake mixes might not rise as the baking powder/soda in them probably went bad, but other than that as long as it isnt too outdated, but I dont think food pantried will take expired food|kandywolf|kandywolf@gmail.com|10:52:07|11/09/2009|

TY!
~Please include RS username in emails. If you do not have a username, I WILL NOT trade
with you. Tired of lurkers taking advantage of people, if you really want to trade, you will
sign up at RS with a username!~
~If we have not traded before and you have no feedback or 5 or less feedback you will
need to send your end first. Sorry but this is my new rule. TY~
~I am now giving 36 hours from the time I email someone about a trade. I am losing too
many trades waiting 3 or 4 days, and then they decide no, or dont let me know at all.
Sorry, but I can't wait longer than 36 hours, I believe that is more than fair~

5|3|I believe it can also get "gassy" so I don't know if it's yeast that has something to do w/it or not.|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|16:36:21|11/09/2009|
I think so cuz it's the ingredient that makes the stuff rise/fluff up when baked.
I always put my dried goods like that in the freezer overnight right after I buy them cuz it extends their life & reduces the risk of mealey bugs, or whatever they're called. I know tho that the mealey bugs come from the flour, cornmeal &/or wheat that's in the dried goods. But you can leave the stuff in the freezer for as long as you like, just so it's been in there for at least 2-4 hrs.

Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.
