How a about a package of bread with just one little 1/8" island of bluish mold? I freak out and toss the whole thing. Can't do it.

I usually just cut off that part of the bread and eat it anyway. Slimy ham...No problem.

Chunky milk is where I draw the line.......


I am no were near a clean freak. I take full advantage of the 10 second rule, sometimes longer, if I don't get it in time.:blink: Yet never sick......:-D

Wtf? And I thought you were one of the few normal people around here. But noooo... just another wierdo.
Hey, I'm not the one ingesting expired milk... I wonder if that actually has a negative effect on your bones?


Moldy bread - if it's moldy then the bread is going to have that great stale taste... I like my baked goods... it goes in the trash.

Slimy ham...No problem.
For some time it's ok, and then I start parting it out to the dogs.


Eggs? They last forever in my mind... wait long enough and you can have some Century Eggs.

Milk - as soon as the expiration day hits I'm out. Even if it doesn't smell. Wifey yells at me for this. She can use it if she likes.

Slimy ham - hell no. See milk example above. The thought of eating food that MAY be bad freaks me out.

Bread with mold - it goes out to the birds.

I only buy meat the day I'm going to cook it.

Milk, well with 2 young kids consuming multiple glasses a day, we never really get close to the expiration date anymore. P.K. (pre kids), hey if it's within a week of the expiration date AND the initial stench upon opening the container doesn't knock me out, its all good in my book!

Slimy ham - not for me, but it's perfectly fine to wrap the pills in that one of my dogs takes daily ;)

Moldy Bread - bird food (I absolutely HATE crusty bread to begin with)

Moldy Cheese - save it for my mother in-law!

Dry cereal, for lunch?? :blink:

Yeah, that's normal... :roll:

Bunch of friggen weird-o's around here...

Pour some milk on that cereal, and eat it in the morning, when cereal is meant to be enjoyed!!!











JK; I've been known to eat cereal at all times of the day, usually with milk though... ;)

....poured yourself a nice big bowl of cereal only to realize the milk is pushing the limits of what's palatable?


I usually eat it anyway, but man, I f'kin hate that.
Um, yeah. Yesterday was like that. Today I stuck with the frozen waffles. ;)

Just use water.
Ewww!!!!

Ahhh... yeah, okay. Its cereal, I'd rather pay for the mistake with a few pennies than risk gastro-intestinal despair. Thankyewveddymuch...
Well in our case, we drink raw milk so it doesn't go bad, it just turns sour and is on its way to becoming cheese. It's actually better for you when it's sour because it's cultured (like yogurt).

I throw the whole bag of bread away too. Yuck!

I hear ya man. I do smell checks when within 48 hours of the expiration date. My wife is equally as cautious. Once that magic date lapses, that sucker gets dumped, smell or not.

There are no places to buy rice around me and I'm too lazy to make it. :( Gotta substitute with something :)

i've seen my in-laws use 1/2 and 1/2 a few weeks after the expiration date. they go by the "if it doesn't smell it must be fine" line of thought. it grosses me out. i cringe when i look in their fridge at the cape because there are all kinds of thing that make my skin crawl. but i guess that is the nature of a fridge in a second home.

Is it expired milk that gives you the milk mustache, or something else?

I knew you'd out me, that's why I had to put the little disclaimer at the bottom... ;)

I wouldn't say I love it though, but it is good sometimes, especially when I'm too lazy to make anything. FYI, for those that don't know me, the extent of me making anything is throwing a frozen meal in the oven... ;)

Cereal for dinner, picky eater... Sounds like Sev is taking care of 3 kids. ;-)

I'm really hoping we won't be hearing about you needing YOUR diaper changed in this thread! ;)

If bvibert posts that this is the case I will piss my pants resulting in a diaper change of my own.

Me, too... which means I've been one for 8 months now, I guess. ;)

I understand your pain. My wife gets up for the baby every night. She is a champ but the fatigue is getting to her. Time for Dad to step up and loose a little sleep.
