Have you ever....

Just cut off a slab of carrot cake with the cream cheese frosting. Before I poured my milk I took a big whiff. All is well. I am happy.

Then, roadkill yes or no???

Me, I guess if I took out a Deer, I'd actually give it some thought! Now, if one of the Buffaloes that are being raised at a farm by my house(I'm being serious here) got out, and I SURVIVED the crash, then, I'm firing up the grill for some good eating Bison steaks!

I hit a deer in New Jersey once. While we were inspecting the damage (minor- I was driving a 1980's Oldsmobile Delta 88, known as the tank. With 8-Track), a pickup pulled up and two crunchy-looking women got out. We were all prepared to receive a hippy chick lecture about affronts to nature, but they were Game and Fish officers, and offered us a roadkill license if we wanted to keep the deer. We were driving back to NC, so we passed.

Would have been nice and tender, though. Gelatinous, really.

Also, for everyone's edification, buy the cheapest brand of milk out there... or Hood. There are only two coop's left in New England that sell milk... Hood, who brands their own, and Cabot/Agrimark, who labels for whomever. So if you're buying anything but Hood, your milk is coming from all over. Hood doesn't have any really difference in quality standards or anything either, but they do have opaque bottles, for whatever that's worth to you.

Unless you buy raw milk... then you know the exact farm it comes from (ours is from Stone Wall Dairy in Cornwall Bridge, CT). Just saying...

Thats whats usually is in my fridge. Although for some reason, Garelick Farms milk just tastes a little better to me as it's drowning my AM bowl of Kashi Cinamon Biscuts

My palette is not that discriminating, I just like FC because its local and organic. My Mother's side of the family owned a dairy for years in Middletown. I like to support the few small farms that are remaining.

Farmer's Cow is not organic. But it is local, and they don't use growth hormones.

Let's try another scenario. LEFTOVERS! Lets say that last night's cooked chicken that you encased in a Reynolds wrap tomb mysteriously dissappeared to the back of the fridge for a week do to a produce avalanche that burried the chicken.

Do you eat it???

Me, I'm eating it if there's not slime layer AND it doesn't have the hardness of a hockey puck!

Probably not. Depends on just how good it was the first time around.

No way. 3-4 days in the fridge, tops, for leftovers. This goes back to when I was pregnant and the docs all said not to eat food that was any older as a leftover.

ETA: Though anything with tomatoes in it may be game due to the acidity. Would make bacterial overgrowth less likely.

I look at my food the same way I look at my clothes- no spots, no smell, it's clean.

I find sprinkling my left overs with 12 molar hydrochloric acid does preserve it better as well.

And it adds a little HEAT.

Doesn't look as appetizing, though.
Me, I prefer nitric acid. The resultant brown haze hides a lot of defects.

Why not just use Uric Acid and pee on it! Hey unless you've got a urinary tract infection it's sterile! uke:

Gotta love this round of "Alpinezone Fear Factor"
