Soda Bread

[Mortblanc]

I was making some turkey soup today and decided I wanted some soda bread on the side.

I do not bake much so I got the fixin's out and mixed my two cups of flour and cup of buttermilk to a splash of baking powder and salt, mixed it up and popped it in the oven.

It came out nice and brown on top and bottom and done perfect on the inside so I sat down to supper and enjoyed the meal.

After a while I got to thinking that I could not remember when I bought that flour and it came to me that I did not buy that flour, my wife bought it and she has been gone to the grave more than 7 years past.

Then I remembered that the baking powder had been purchased by a nice lady that came to visit me from your Midlands region back in 2012.

Like I said, I do not bake often.

What does this prove?

It proves that when it comes to flour and baking powder you can forget the "use buy" dates. As long as there are no weevils present just go for it.
