    Hello my dear friends! 👋💕 How’s your first week of 2024? I’ve been receiving comments and messages asking if I’m okay from the recent earthquake. Thank you so much everyone for your concern🥹. I’m fine and my place wasn’t affected so much by the earthquake🤗. I hope everyone is also doing well.💕 Stay safe and have a wonderful day! ❤️

      It is true what you think/say!!! The producers are obliged to put an expiring date on the products. That doesn’t mean that the product will be bad directly. Getting bad depends on the kind of product like f.e. dry pasta will last very long of sugar or salt too. For dry herbs bought in the supermarket (bottled in the factory) it follow no rules and I use it until its finished. When we talk about fresh products like meat/dairy products/eggs …I will not use those products anymore after the expiring date. I think its too dangerous for salmonella or so.
      I am also living om my own (since 2013) and it’s hard sometimes like you say. When I have health issues or a problem, I have those difficult moments. At those moments I take a “rescue plant’s based tablet” and then I feel better soon.

Dont worry about expiration dates especially on goods like pasta, rice, tin goods, seasoning etc it's more of a guidance. It's for fresh foods meats, fish, eggs, milk etc where you need to be careful. Glad you got home too see your family. Take care ❤

      Wine indeed expires... at least in the sense of usability. Very high quality wines are good for a longer time than lower quality, but wine can get vinegary as it ages. We've saved wine for a special occasion only to have it be vinegary and inedible to drink.

    • @RememberMeYeah
      @RememberMeYeah Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@brandylou9132 When stored properly and kept unopened, white wines can often outlive their recommended drinking window by 1-2 years, red wines by 2-3 years, and cooking wines by 3-5 years. Fine wine can typically be consumed for decades. Once opened though, the expiration is about 3-5 days with cool storage.

    Happy and prosperous 2024 to you Lou. I understand all too well the wonderful feeling to go back to your roots! I did that for 35 years and now I live at my ocean home! Just an FYI on the salt expiry. Salt never expires as it does not contain water. Microbes need water. As well salt is poisonous to most microbes. Salt was hugely important as a food preservative prior to refrigeration. I’m glad that you spent a happy New Year with your family.💕🇨🇦

  • @lauraroberson9937
    @lauraroberson9937 Před 5 měsíci +44

    It's late, but Happy New Year. One suggestion for your food items, use a sharpie permanent marker to write the date you bought them. Then add the date you open. This will help you track how old they are. Peppercorns and other spices are good for up to 2 years past any expiration date. They just won't taste as strong as when fresh. Thanks for sharing your routines with us. Helps inspire the rest of us in doing our day to day living.

    Hey Lou, about your food poisoning: Here in Germany, we don't defrost meat with the mircowave 'cause it can very quickly cover your meat with germs. We always thaw it in the fridge the night before. We tend to put minced meat in the microwave if we have to, but never chicken or pork. Maybe this will help you :)

  • @ourmodestfamily

    Hello from Italy and happy new year!
    Salt is a mineral, while peppercorn and other spices are seeds or fruits or whatever, so it makes sense that inorganic matter doesn’t have an expiration date.
    In my fridge I have an “Eat me first” box (found the idea in pinterest): things that need to go fast or that are close the expiration date are there. Hope you’re doing well and enjoy the holiday with your family! ❤

    Hello Lou C. Happy New year. Hope this new year brings you all the good things God has planned for you. As someone who was living alone for a long time I would freeze certain things to make them last longer. Some herbs and spices, certain sauces as well. Before freezing I would do some research about the things I’m freezing to make sure the quality doesn’t get spoiled. I also had a food vacuum sealer that I used.Maybe you could try and see if this is a possibility for you. Take care always.

    Nice to see a video from you today. You mentioned getting sick from expired foods. Another possibility is proper dishwashing. You need to clean your dishes with warm almost hot soapy water rinse in hot water then dry. Cold water alone does nothing to get rid of germs. I see this a lot when you wash dishes. Take care be well happy new year.

    I don’t have a grocery store near me, so I cannot stock up on a lot of fresh things because they go bad.
    Also, I absolutely love your cooking videos. I wish you would do about an hour video with just cooking. I would watch it repeatedly! When you cook, it is relaxing and mesmerizing for me. I absolutely love it. Thank you for taking so much time with your followers. We appreciate you so much. ❤️

I recently learned a little something that I didn't know either: oat products should be stored in a dark container and in a dark place, otherwise important healthy ingredients will be lost. I still have a small (transparent) jar half full of oats here, which I now use when it's freezing to feed the birds, and I've now put my breakfast oats in a dark, sealable tin. 😊😊

Am so happy to have a new video to watch from one of my favourite content creators, your videos are special filled with inspiration, joy and love. Even your content that is a little more thoughtful, especially on the living alone as I do too but unlike you I still live in the country I was born in and you have the added stress of living alone in a different country and I must say you are doing very well and very gracefully. I was watching some of your old content as your content/videos bring me Joy, Happiness and peace, and one of the videos you Sang in the shower! Wow you have such a beautiful Singing voice I just wanted to let you know that! Please keep up the content it really helps and brings Joy to so many people!

    Hi Lou, first comment. In the UK/EU we have a best before end date and a use by, it is probably similar in Japan. Use by is for perishable foods such as chicken, prawns, fresh dairy etc and should not be eaten past the date on the label. Best before is okay to use past the expiry date but the quality might degrade if it is quite far gone but would be perfectly okay to eat and not cause food poisoning. I would have no issue eating food that is a few months past its best before. Happy new year - love your content.

    Happy New Year, Lou! I'm glad you got to spend time with your family and that you had a good time. As others have noted, salt doesn't expire so don't worry about that. I defrost my food in the refrigerator before I'm ready to cook but that's just me 😊. Have a good year and wishing you well.

    To preserve things to last longer. Flour can be put in freezer. Just put in a freezer bag and store in freezer and it will keep longer. Spices if you buy them whole seed keep longer, but should be discarded yearly because they lose their flavor. If you have sauces that come in large bottles freeze it in an ice cub tray and put in freezer bags.

Your trip home for New Year's did you good. There's nothing like family and loved ones to restore your spirit and give you hope and joy for the coming year. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤😊

    Lucy, salt spends centuries underground without modifying its qualities. Yes, it does not go off, unless you drop something perishable in it, and even then...Peppercorns also don't "expire" as such, but they do lose their aromatic qualities with time.

  • @Amber-wz1lg
    @Amber-wz1lg Před 5 měsíci

    Salt will literally stay good for a life time and more so long as it doesn't get wet, the most that will happen if moisture gets to it is it'll clump up and you'll have literal salt rocks

    I'm sure someone else has mentioned it but salt doesn't have an expiration because it doesnt expire. Thats why its used to preserve foods a lot. I believe honey also does not expire. As for the issue you have, do you have a coworker or friend nearby who also lives alone? You could split the cost of some of those condiments and ingredients and divide them between you into other containers. That way there is no waste and you both get to enjoy them without feeling like the rest will go bad.

    Salt lasts for literally millions of years, it's a mineral, a rock, unlike the peppercorns which are an organic substance. It can absorb water and turn into one solid lump if in a damp place, but it'll probably outlast the packaging to be honest. Salt mines in the UK are nowadays used for archival storage (double win, paid for the salt you extract and then paid for the holes left behind).

    Welcome home, dear sweet Lou. Im gkad you are safely home, and you had a lovely visit with family. Salt basically lasts forever, though the quality can be affected depending upon how you store it. It is also usable as a way to preserve foods. (You can find ways on the internet.) Honey also basically lasts forever. But, storage methods affect quality, and usability. When considering spices, as someone else commented, they don't "spoil", but the taste, texture, strength, and overall quality reduces as they age. This can make buying in bulk a poor investment for a single person, or very small family. It may not be as desirable as paying a few cents more for spices that will taste good, and there will be less thrown away. I put sticky labels with the expiration date where its very visible and create meals usung items that are expiring first.

    Salt comes from the sea. It is not grown therefore it doesn't expire. Thank you for sharing❤

    If I may make a recommendation, when cutting chicken, I would use/get a small plastic cutting board or mat. The wood harbors the bacteria from the chicken making it harder to clean and higher possibility of cross contamination. Loving the videos, and have a safe journey back home!

    Salt - clean salt that isn't mixed with anything else - has a shelf life stretching years, so don't worry about it going bad. 😊

  • @vickipalladeno5334

    I've had food poisoning as well so now I look carefully at expiration dates. I also only buy what I will use in a few days, so I hardly ever need to throw away food.
