How long is a beef roast good for in the refrigerator? If I was to buy a beef
roast, not sure what kind yet, on Thursday and put it in the fridge, would it
still be good on Sunday, three days later? Thanks.

Â* Maybe , maybe not . Depends on when it was packaged , how it was kept
in the store , and how it's kept in your refrigerator . If Sunday is
before the "use by" date , and you and the grocer have both kept the
meat under 40° continuously , the answer is "probably" .

Thanks Terry. And you bring up a point I've often wondered about. I'm very
finicky about how old cold cuts are in m y fridge. I usually wont eat them after
two or three days. But the I was wondering, how do I know how long they've been
hanging ot in the grocery store cooler before they were sliced. Does staying in
one big hunk preserve their shelf life better than being sliced? Or is it just a
matter of how fast they go through the meats? I can see things like ham, blogna
and roast beef being used quickly, but I often buy things that aren't
necessarily sold as much, like cappicola and liverwurst. How do I know if that
meat it good when they cut it?

It'll be just fine... how will you cook it, oven roast or pot roast? I
have a five+ pound piece of top round I'll be taking from the freezer
tomorrow, will become a lucious pot roast for New Years... I've got
plenty sweet onions, red spuds, carrots, celery, and all the herbs and
seasoning I need... pot roast braised in local ale... I may add barley
and 'shrooms to have a rich soup too, not sure yet, a last minute
decision... but starting to sound like a YES! If I use my 12 quart
pot I'll have six+ quarts of soup. And now is soup weather. It's -2ºF
now and dropping fast... woke up to -5ºF this AM.

Our NYE dinner will probably be some ham . Leftover ham to wind up in a
pot of BE peas - or maybe some homegrown field peas - for New Years Day
dinner .

Easuly good for a week. If it is well packed it can go for a couple of
weeks.

It's -2ºF here now. I have one of those electronic weather stations
so I can get accurate weather for where I live.

You mean a raw one? Doesn't it have dates on it? Should have a "packaged on"
and "sell by" date. The most important part is when it was packaged. There
was a big to do at one store here and big roasts that they had for
Christmas. Apparently some were kept at room temp. too long and by the time
people went to cook them, they were spoiled. The store exchanged them either
for a higher quality piece of meat or a larger piece.

Â* I have a thermometer in the window ... actually , we use
www.weather.com , but know that the temps here 12 miles from town will
vary . For instance , they say it's 18°F in town , here it's more like
15° .

Not so much that as it's been a while since I listened to The Beatles .
I've been on a 70's rock music binge the last couple of days ...

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

Surface area and cross-contamination.

A solid hunk of meat will be less apt to spoil than something that's
been sliced, exposing more of its surface to bacteria. The slicer
blade might not be cleaned frequently enough (even if they follow
the health department's rules) to prevent bacterial growth.

Refrigeration slows bacterial growth, but does not necessarily kill
bacteria.

Whatever year the Beatles 2nd album was released (1960's), my
christmas present that year was my first stereo plus 2
lps..."Meet the Beatles" and "Beatles 2nd album". I've still got
them too. My lp collection consists of about 600. Some from the
later 60's, a few from the early 80's, but mostly from the 70's.
Cassettes and 8-tracks made up another 50 or so. Sadly, back in
1972, I even sold off many lps cheap just to raise money for a
surfing trip or two. Good trade at the time but wish I had them
now. oh well.

I still have all my LP's - except the copy of ZZ Top Fandango that I
traded for a copy of Some of the Best of The Statlers ... and still have
a bunch of cassette tapes and all my reel to reel tapes . I remember
when the Beatles hit the big time - I was in 8th grade - but it's only
in the last 15 years or so that I've come to appreciate their collective
musical genius .

Found a nice little one bone rib roast with a sell by date of December 31st,
which is when I want to cook it, so I'm good! It's just for me and my wife.

Excellent. We have a little two-bone rib roast. There's no sell-by date,
since we bought it at the butcher shop, but it was cut from the primal
yesterday, so it'll definitely last until tomorrow when we cook it.

My little one rib came out perfect. Medium rare, though I had to put my wife's
piece under the broiler for a minute since she doesn't like red meat. I cooked
it at 450 for a half hour then reduced the oven to 325. Had a probe in the meat
set to go off at 125 degrees, Perfect! I was very happy. Had gravy, twice baked
potatoes, broccoli and dinner rolls. Happy New Year!
