What's happened to the cream in Paddington?!
So, tonight's weirdness...
We live in Paddington, near the meeting of Given Tce and La Trobe Tce. Usually the food around here is wonderful and groceries are rarely an issue. But tonight the lady of the house noticed that we were out of cream, which just happened to be a vital ingredient in tonight's dinner. So we trotted down the hill to our little over-priced grocery store near Network Video to find some. We found some Dairy Farmers cream with a use-by of the 25/11/09 that seemed okay, but there was still cream in the fridges with a use-by of the 19/11/09 (that's last Thursday for those of you playing at home) that made us a bit nervous.
When we got home we discovered that the cream was off and unusable, so we made another sojourn into the night air and trotted up to Woollworths. At Woolies all the use-bys looked kosher so we picked up a Paul's cream with a use-by of the 8/12/09. We got it home and... guess what... it's also off.
Now maybe it's all just bad luck and coincidence, but I can't help but wonder how on earth a cream with a use-by that says today fortnight is as off as a cream, from a different company, that is dated for tomorrow.
Good grief. Our drama drove us to end up at Sing's in Rosalie.
Consider this a warning to all Paddo-dwellers: check your cream!
