What do all these foodstuffs have in common?

Correct. All out of date. Ranging from a week or so back to over 4 years (the Crisp 'n' Dry).

Has the flour turned into a solid 'brick' ?
The flour we found in the Mother in law's kitchen, a few years ago, could have been used as an offensive weapon !
I'll do this later

That happened in a Ming gunpowder store once. The frugal manager ordered a number of troops to break up the blocks of solidified black powder with crowbars, and there were about five hundred casualties when the inevitable happened.

Dwarf flour, eh? No, although we have had that in the past. A couple of the spices had solidified in their jars.


The biggest waste is the bottles of oriental cooking sauces. Four bottles, un-opened. And the two bottles of Balsamic vinegar.

Clearly someone in the house went through a phase of at least wanting to cook 'properly'.

Well, with a little imagination, you've got a whole space station there. Or a dragon with bad knees.  :-\

Leon is in America.
Pendraken processed my order in 2 days.

No ... Pendraken processed two orders in 2 days.

Leon ... is in ... America,

Pendraken. Pendraken process two orders in two days.

So Leon ... is in America. Leon is not in Middle-Borough.
Pendraken in Middle-Borough process not one, but two orders in two days.

There's something there, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Well, there's a thing.

Generating stats for a Traveller crew, I have thrown a 2, a 12 and four 7s. i.e. a min, a max and 4 average.

Never seen such a peculiar pattern.

This character is average in strength, dexterity, endurance and education; has a massive intelligence of 12; but is the lowest born scum with a society of 2.

Despite the use by date being November, I think the yeast I have is shot. While I only had enough flour for the half the smallest loaf in the bread maker, it still should have been more than 3 cm high!

Ex was clearing out garage Saturday so I got called round to pick up my stuff. Found lots of figures I was wondering where they were, and more I'd forgotten about.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
