My wife and mother in law (I see where my wife got it) have the idea that if
you put something in the refrigerator, there is no such thing as shelf life.

"Well, it's been in the refrigerator," is the common answer to "Is this
good?"

I finally made a rule that if you can't tell me when it was cooked, I won't
eat it................ Oh, I cooked that last week some time ..............
Was it Thursday, or the Thursday before .........

I'm telling you, we went through the Clorox wipes thing after she saw it on
Oprah, and wiped down everything in the kitchen if so much as a fly landed
on anything in the kitchen including the ceiling, but she will leave chicken
to thaw from 7 AM to 4 PM in the sink at 70 F.

I need to get ahold of Oprah and have her do a show on shelf life and
kitchen safety foods.

I mean, it can have brown mold on it, be unrecognizable, and she will still
say, "I don't understand it. It's been in the refrigerator."

Help me out. I've tried explaining it. Some good sites that I could send to
her friends, and they could forward to her (she won't believe it if it comes
from me, but her friends and Oprah are Goddesses).
