Last night I was in the mood to snack. I don’t know why, I just seemed like I couldn’t get full! And it didn’t make any sense to me at all because I had eaten plenty of protein, which sticks to my ribs better than anything else. I don’t know, maybe I was just bored, or stressed. All I know is that my stomach was growling at me and I felt hunger pains that just would not stop! I was going nuts trying to find something to eat that would not be terrible for me. Cookies and chips were calling out to me; it was so hard to resist! And I know that experts say to eat fruit, but that makes me even hungrier!
So I scrounged around the pantry and found some microwave popcorn that had been sitting there a long time. It had a “best if used by” date on it that was over a year old. I considered throwing it away, but then I decided I’d pop it and see if it smelled or tasted bad; if so, then I’d toss it away. Well, I think it had a few more “old maids” than normal, but not bad, and it tasted just fine. And today I’m alive and well, so I guess maybe today I’ll eat that second bag of expired popcorn!
