that a few of the things I *really* wanted--tomatillo salsa, for example--were only available in jars with expiration dates from mid-2023. While I don't THINK there's anything in tomatillo salsa that would go so bad, it could seriously affect my health, I'm nowhere near the point that I would need to risk it.
Among the many, many, oh so many things I've inherited from Dad is an iron stomach <g>. I can count on one hand the number of times I've suspected I had food poisoning (and have fingers left over), and while I didn't enjoy the experience, it was nothing a night of, ah, forcefully expelling the poisoned food, plus some rest, couldn't fix.
