At The Back Of The Cupboard

In these inflationary times and with the credit crunching all around us the time has come to utilise all your assets. This means its time to go into the back mof that large cupboard in the kitchen and use up those tins and packets that have been gathering dust for ages. Perhaps its time to find a place on the menu for that old tin of water chestnuts or for that bottle of pickled Gherkins that you wonn on the bottle stall at some forgotten street market. Perhaps that old tim of Spam might now come in useful and can that really be the packet of powdered egg circa 1944 that you inherited from great auntie Enid insted of the brass carraige clock you were expecting. If you are very lucky you might even find a tin of strawberries and as we all know strawberries are always worth a nibble. Who knows what culinary delights await as at the back of the cupboard.

Finally, of course in the darkest recess of the cupboard you come across the shortbread tin covered in dust that you can only vaguely remember having seen. On opening it you find a collection of letters from some long forgotten illicit affair that you would rather not remember but cannot forget. You decide that the best course of action where these aree concerned is to consign to the futherest part of the back of an even darker and deeper cupboard.
