Ok, I goofed today. I'd gone to the grocery store to get milk
($1.19/gallon!!) and a few other cold goodies and strawberries. After
unloading the groceries from the vehicle in the blistering sunlight and
putting the cold stuff in the fridge, I took a brief respite because I
felt a wee bit overcome with the stifling humidity and simmering summer
heat.

The short break evolved into an afternoon nap Right after my
impromptu nap, I discovered I'd neglected to put the 1#-packages of
bacon and breakfast sausage (tube for patties) in the fridge, too -
aargh :/ Thankfully, the bacon and sausage had only been without
refrigeration for about three hours or so.

So, this evening I mostly stood at the flaming, natural-gas stove
cooking the bacon and sausage patties to be used during the upcoming few
days. Cooking two-pounds of many-slices-of-meats definitely was not
what I intended for a Saturday evening's activities - heheh. The
sausage patties will make breakfast biscuits and snacks. The bacon has
countless uses, and I foresee a lettuce wedge salad with bleu-cheese
dressing and a bacon-burger in the works, among other many other
possible options.

Anyone else have culinary goof(s) to share, redeemable or otherwise <VBG>?!

Sky

P.S. While cooking a pound of bacon in a pan on the stove, I dare
anyone not to eat a slice or two! It's a dare I can't take - heheh!

Good to know and thanks <g>. Well, I preferred to be safer than sorry,
and that's why I just upped and cooked the bacon and sausage. Ooops,
this situation is one I very seldom encounter, my bad.

Really it was no big deal to cook the bacon and the sausage patties
tonight, albeit a small personal PITA time-wise; I had plans that did
not involve cooking. It's good to realize vacuumed-sealed meats like
uncooked bacon and thawed, raw, breakfast sausage tubes can still be
good to cook and consume after more than a few, short hours of
non-refrigeration. However, I personally would not wish to push that
"cook-by mark" more than 24- to 36-hours (give or take, circumstances
depending) afterwards, and YMMV <g>.

Who'd like to wager if bove were to encounter such a situation as I had
this afternoon and evening(?). Would bove send the uncooked, unused
bacon and sausage to the garbage with nary a second glance or subsequent
consideration to finances -- or would she cook immediately cook it use
at a later date? Yay or nay?

Sky, who's just curious and won't keep score

P.S. I sure do miss those RFC surveys of old - they were fun!!! VBG!

Then try to imagine cooking bacon and sausage for four hundred non
stop, and first thing in the morning, when out of bed only ten minutes
and before the first sip of cawfee.

Anyone claims they never screw up never cooks. It's very rare I
forget to put something in teh fridge but it's much more often I
forget the item I put in the microwave... heck, every so often I'll
search for my coffee mug and can't find it until I next open the
nuker. Fortunately the items I place in the microwave are very rarely
perishables, frozen veggies won't spoil over night.

Not me, I can't tolerate the stench... I'd much prefer fried Spam.

I've forgotten SPAM in the microwave for a couple three days, still
perfectly fine, just call it dry aged... I'd think an opened can of
SPAM would be good at room temperature for a week to ten days... I
think SPAM contains enough salt to de-ice the roads here in the middle
of winter... force a pea sized bit into auto locks and they wont
freeze and they'll be well lubed.

In all the years I've read her posts Sky is only nasty to the very
nasty posters... you gotta be a BIG PIA to push Sky's buttons,
otherwise for minor offences she'll simply ignore.

I never see any dogs running loose here... a loose dog here would
never last the night. The sad thing is that vacationing summer people
get puppies for their kids and when they leave at the end of summer
they leave the dogs behind because they can't have them in their big
city apartments, the poor things become prey amd don't
last more than a few hours... dogs have no survival skills. Cats left
behind will quickly become part of a feral community, within a couple
three hous, cats are born with superb survival skills. Dogs can't
even hunt so even if they escaped becoming prey for a few days they
will starve to death. Dogs used to being fed have no ability to find
food in the wild. For cats the easiest thing is finding food, and
cats can climb out of danger... I've never seen a dog climb a tree. My
feral cats spend most of their time hunting or in my barn, they can
climb way up onto the catwalks as quickly as a squirrel, even when
they come into the barn the catwalks won't support critters larger
than a cat.

My microwave beeps every 60 seconds after it's been used, an irritating
but actually helpful reminder that you've left something in it.

I wouldn't call accidentally leaving something in the trunk of a car a
cooking goof. Sky was tired from unloading groceries in the heat. I
understand that! So, she fell asleep. She didn't fall asleep while she
was cooking. <G>

I once had a package of raw fresh fish fall out of a grocery bag in the
trunk of my car. It was also in the summer, very hot outside. The fish
was in there for at least a day. The next time I went to get in the
car... OMG.

Here's an endorsement: Febreez did an excellent job of removing that
horrific stench. Of course I also left the windows and the trunk open
to let it air out. But ever since then I swear by Febreez.

Cheers, mate, have another one.

Spam probably ranks right up there with Twinkies as being basically
indestructible....LOL.

N.

Jill, a lawyer I worked for left a package of lamb chops in his car in
the heat and didn't miss them until they started to smell...he found
them under the seat. It took weeks for the odor to leave.

I have heard that an open shallow pan or dish of bleach will also give
a small stinky space a nice, fresh smell. I haven't had to try anything
like that yet.

He is lucky to have got rid of the smell. The stench of rotten meat can
be hard to get rid of.

Sorry Sheldon but you have that wrong. Sky began to hit on Julie non stop a
long time ago which is why she is another in my filter along with the other
bullies who do it.

I have no interest in such low life who act so nastily all the time and
target people in that way. It would be good if they got a taste of their
own medicine but apart from the scum that do it there aren't any others
vicious enough.

I once left a dish with leftover crab dip in my trunk. Took a few
days before I was wondering What's that smell? Luckily, it was in
a plastic bag and when I got rid of it, the odor dissipated.

I could have used that on a rental car I had once. One of those
you're given by your insurance company while your car's being repaired,
otherwise I'd have returned it.

Nothing we did got the overwhelming cigarette smoke smell out of it.

My microwave is one of the old (circa 1986) GE Spacemaker series:

The feature doesn't annoy me too much since I often go into another room
when using the microwave. It's not so much I've "forgotten". It's more
likely I've gotten caught up in doing something else. Okay, okay, shut
up microwave!

Mine does that too, and it is annoying to me, also my oven starts beeping
shortly after the door is opened without really giving you time to get
something in or out, I wish there was a disable feature on that too.

I actually like that "reminder" feature. I timed mine last night. Once
it ends, it beeps 4 times. If you leave it in it will beep 3 times ever
120 seconds, not 60 seconds.

I often heat food in a few phases. I use that 120 second reminder to
remind to turn it on again for a bit. By pausing, it lets all the heat
spread so all is the same even temp.

I could put a pot on the stove, boil it dry and maybe somehow
burn the house down, no reminders there. But you heat something
in the microwave for a prescribed amount of time, and it's panic

My ancient GE croaks out three tinky beeps when the cycle is over,
that's it... no more reminders. Oh and it beeps with each button
push, why I've no idea. It's not as powerful as new nuckers but I
like that it has no turntable, gives more useable space for using
rectangular glass casserols... even back then 35 years ago it has some
sort of gizmo that stirs the microwaves so heating is very even. I've
been looking but all the new microwaves have that silly turntable and
I really don't want that. What's the point of cubic microwave ovens
with a rotating turntable, why not a round/tubular microwave cabinet
and save all that counter space... would cost a lot less to
manufacture too.

I would very much like that feature on the new models since it worked just
fine on the older models. Always trying to fix things that aren't broken is
not necessarily a good thing in many cases with these manufacturers.

Any time I put something liquidy on the stove I set the stove timer, I
know the large burner on high will bring four quarts from cold to a
simmer in seven minutes so I'll set the timer for six minutes. My
stove timer is incessant and sounds every ten seconds until I shut it
off.

Don't bother to make suggestions for product improvement to many large
companys, they're typically met with annoyance for telling them what
to do. I recently phoned Ziploc and susggested they have a two quart
size because the one quart is often too small and the one gallon is
too large. The woman told me that they see no good reason to produce
that size and in a MYOB tone... I asked her how she'd feel if bras
only came in A and D cup... at least I got a giggle from the witch.

Shoulda asked her what size of condom her hubby dons...or the diameter of her diaphragm ;-)

Seriously, having a two quart size would be very handy, was thinking of that when I was packing my lunch this morning.

I run into the same thing with the Amazon packaging, requesting smaller
boxes for shipping. It's ridiculous that they send a huge box, full of
bubble wrap for a package of batteries or something equally small. BTW, I
agree that the two quart size would be handy.

That's one of my pet peeves too Sheldon! Somebody used to make a half
gallon size, I know because I bought them. Maybe it was Hefty. The
fact remains that now, nobody does. Whoever thought it was a good
idea to discontinue that size obviously doesn't cook!

I get Prime Pantry stuff, it comes in a standard - size box, sometimes my boxes are full, sometimes they are near empty. I guess their reasoning is that standardizing = cost savings. I was just in Target on lunch break, was noticing that everything is in like a gazillion sizes (Ziploc food containers!), but just a very few sizes of Ziplocs...mentioned this to some co-workers, and they all complained about a lack of product between the one quart and gallon sizes, so two - quarters would surely sell.

There is a fuss here about it too. Huge great boxes for tiny things. Such a

I don't know, maybe it's cheaper for them to send huge boxes, but I don't
see the point in adding all of that big bubble wrap for things that aren't
breakable in those big boxes.

Yesterday my new Weber arrived by private carrier... you gotta see the
Weber carton, triple walled heavy corrugated with honeycomb
reinforcements everywhere. It took me over two hours to unpack it,
then another hour to fold up all the extra corrugated and break up the
styrofoam. The outer carton is so heavy and so strong it can easily
substitute for a coffin. The trucker said it weighed 160 pounds...
I'd guesstimate 75 lbs is packaging. Weber packaging is an
engineering miracal, however their assembly instructions are a total
failure. I'm going to wait for this 90º+ heat to go before attempting
to decipher their lousy assembly instructions, they are by far the
worst I've ever seen. This is a grill that retails for nearly $1,000.
I've seen much better assembly instructions with a $20 tomato cage...
the users manual is worse, TP is better grade paper, and the font is
so small I need a magnifying glass to read it... phone directories are
printed on better paper use a more legible font. After looking it
over I see no reason it can't be shipped much more throughly
assembled... shouldn't need more than 15 minutes, instead it will take
about 6 hours... the bag of assorted fasteners must weigh five pounds.
I'll eventually assemble it but I'm not happy with the instructions.

I don't envy you that. We put one together many years ago. It was a total
nightmare with instructions that were ridiculous, and I'm sure it wasn't
anything as elaborate as what you're going to put together. We have had a
couple more since then, but only will buy fully assembled after that fiasco.
Good luck, but I've no doubt you'll "get er done."

Yes They say they are going to change that ... but it could take a year
