Cleaning out my fridge, I sometimes find green
moldy unnamed stuff, from the Paleozoic era.

So I wonder, let's say bread has a bit of mold,
not too much, maybe you pull it out in the dark,
you're drunk, you don't even notice it, Is it toxic?

Keep your bread in the freezer. Most real bread will let you pull off
a couple slices at a time.

If bread is damp in the fridge I let it breathe. It seems to last forever.
I have heard a fellow loosing his face from bread mold in his sinuses.
Never ate a lot, but never got sick. I guess opened bread could get exposed
to more toxic versions.

Depends, are you allergic to penicillin?

I would assume that would be the biggest risk--penicillin tends to
provoke severe reactions in the allergic.

Allergy isn't the only danger. Some molds are carcinogenic.

It seems almost all food is carcinogenic. Wheatena is essentially banned
in California because it has the same carcinogen as most baked wheat
products. Even broccoli and other brassicas. considered by many to be an
anti-cancer food, has carcinogens in it.

Wheatena isn't banned -- they just have to disclose the amount of
carcinogen/neurotoxin it contains.

I used the word "essentially." How many bread or melba toast purveyors
tell you how much carcinogen is in their product. If you were selling a
product that has been on the market for well over a hundred years, how
would you like to print a "cigarette label" on your product. I am
willing to sign a health disclaimer when I buy Wheatena for my
consumption even though it does contain a carcinogen even if the
producer will not admit it.

For now, it seems that the manufacturer is not whipping Wheatena into
California, and a few other states.

Actually Melba toast's levels are relatively modest. Ry-Krisp is the
one to avoid.

Wheatena is well up there, though. Other people pledged to cut down
the amount of acrylamide in their products, and many are at
undetectable levels. It has 5 to 30 times the amount of other cereals.

The people voted for notification. You can't go anywhere without
seeing a Prop. 65 warning though, so I don't know what Wheatena's
problem is. Let their Calif distributor slap stickers on, if they
don't want to let other states know.

Is it that easy?
I knew penicillin was discovered as a mold, but I assumed
there was some processing.

Just leave some bread (probably wheat) in the fridge,
and viola, penicillin?

Not exactly. You really need a cello. A double bass does even better.

DON'T tell someone that on a public forum. It's dangerous and stupid
to think that any fungus floating in the air and landing on a slice of
bread might create penicillin. There's no single mold type any more
than there's a single species of idiot.

Nothing wrong with playing bassoon, cuz I played it. I also played oboe,
clarinet and saxophone. It is embarrassing When you are the only one
playing bassoon, and the band director asks you to play a few bars, then
everyone giggles. I admit, they do sound funny.

I'm impressed. Very very impressed. I've played about everything
under the sun, all the usual strings, brass, reeds, percussion--the
works. But the only time I've messed with a double reed I met my
match. It was a suona, so not a 4k instrument like bassoon or oboe,
but hard enough to sweat a lot and work muscles where I didn't have
them.

Every try an English horn? When played well they avoid both the
humorous qualities of bassoon and the colorless aspects of oboe.

Unfortunately, I never had access to an English horn and I never played
percussion. When I moved to the oboe, the experience came as a surprise.
I assumed it would be similar to the clarinet, but the embouchure was so
different. Finding the heart of the double reed, and keeping it there,
was a challenge in the beginning.

I always wanted to play violin and cello, but I never got around to it.
Every child should learn music and have access to instruments.

I never tried the oboe but I played clarinet through elementary school
and jr high. I played acoustic guitar for years. I nice home made one
my dad made. His hobby was wood working and he made the most amazing
acoustic guitars.

Isn't that the truth! My son got interested in music from a young age
and eventually went on to be lead guitarist in a band he and his friends
formed. I would have bet they'd go far. They were amazing. The
important part was that he enjoyed it.
