Yep. Like my whipping cream this morning. It had been opened for close
to three weeks and I figured I had better use it up. I was going to
make a batch of ice cream. I was about to pour it into the pan when I
noticed the smell and texture. Yech. It had turned. I felt bad enough
about dumping 2 pints of whipping cream. I can't imagine buying a
bunch of steaks and throwing them out two days later because they had
not been cooked. I would have put them in the freezer after a day or
two.
