Yep, I was just going to let you know what you already found out lol. My disk has never returned to it's shinyness ( is that a word) lol. Our water is quite hard so I just figure it is what it is.
I'm the opposite, I like raw tomatoes but don't care for spaghetti sauce or ketchup. I do like the cambells tomato soup though. I'm with you @perchie.girl I think cilantro tastes like soap too. I can tolerate it in small doses.
Expiration dates don't mean a whole lot to me either. But even in a cool pantry things can go rancid after to many years. The stuff I canned and the pre boxed foods were between 5 and 9 years old. So I just wasn't willing to trust that. On the plus note though I have a clean slate to start...
