I just spent over an hour cleaning my kitchen. Its become a weekly ritual. Its amazing how quickly the dishes pile up in the sink (and on the counter), and the garbage starts bursting at the seams. I've made a mental note to myself that if something ever explodes in the microwave...wipe it up RIGHT away!

By the way, when the food package says "Best Before 14-Feb-2004" does that mean you throw it away after Feb 14? I suspect most people do, but is it really that bad for you? Who and how is this date determined?
