Foods: How long can you keep stuff ?

Back in 1983, when we were all much younger, Nicole Parton, then at The Vancouver Sun newspaper, wrote a nice little book that tells us all about it -

and with her help, I can still tell you how long to keep stuff in the cupboards, the fridge, and the freezer, so please bear with me, and try to ignore my scribblings and highlighting on the following pages....this is still very useful information, which you may wish to save.

And my sincere thanks and undying gratitude to Nicole, wherever she is now. And if she sees this, may I please request an updated version? This book is my Kitchen Bible and I'll fight the first guy who tries to take it away from me!
