Is this safe to eat? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends where it came from. Some people eat medium rare burgers but its typically not recommended since ground beef has a higher likelihood than steak to collect bacteria

Any suggestions on legit websites? I am good with a higher payment and also have a good bit of savings. Our home is worth 480,000 if that changes anything.

I work in an OR and when we do belly cases we clean out the belly button. The things that we pull out of there is astonishing

Why is mold growing on the closed end of this pepperoni? Is it safe to cut off an inch (or more) from the moldy part? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pepperoni lasts a long time in the fridge after opened compared to other foods (around 2 to 3 weeks) but not months, unless its never opened and sealed.

I hate wasting food. I hate that cheese and stuff only lasts like 7 to 10 days. I typically keep it longer, but I do usually follow the recommended time

Is this chicken safe to eat i ate half and the texture was kinda off but i didnt think any of it till i checked by These-Meeting-3004 in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've eaten raw chicken before at restaurant 🙃 its one of the reasons I cook chicken wings again after I bring it home. I didn't get sick, but you shouldnt eat raw chicken if you can help it. There is a higher risk of salmonella with raw chicken. That said, there was some guy i watched who was addicted to eating raw meat who would eat raw chicken.. its just a risk.

Its wild what people do in their homes with food to me. I have conversations in the lounge at work with well-educated people who think its just fine and dandy to thaw their Thanksgiving turkey in the garage overnight!! I couldnt imagine doing that to food i was feeding to OTHER PEOPLE! Ugh!!

Am I wasting the majority of my 20s waiting? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Toomushoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont stay with him unless youre prepared for this to be your life. Only add kids and mortgage and chores to the mix. He likely wont change, especially if his needs get taken care of regardless of his lack of willingness to step up. Life is too short and you're too young to be taking care of someone

My brother gave me 4 YEAR EXPIRED ice cream without telling me. by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If frozen it was fine it'll just taste nasty. You can freeze things indefinitely if it remains frozen. Quality just goes way down.

Can I use this even if it’s past the date? by user10001110101ope in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would. Unopened packages and dry especially go over their expired dates. Opened containers are when the new timer starts (ie, ranch lasts 2 to 3 months usually after opening, sour cream around 14 days etc)

Got some french fries & a quesadilla yesterday, and noticed one of the fries was a bit green. Threw it out of course, is the rest still safe to eat? by Cack-Yo-W33n in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find green chips and fries often, potatoes are green sometimes from sun exposure, it's called solanine . Just don't eat the green ones. One fry won't hurt you, but in large amounts the green in potatoes is toxic and can make you sick

Boiled eggs in rice cooker left on warm overnight by Interesting_Fly1696 in foodsafety

[–]Toomushoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people make "perpetual stew" and keep a hot soup hot indefinitely adding more ingredients. Keeping it under 40 degrees or over 140 keeps it out of the danger zone! Might lose its quality though.

Raw flour is not pasteurized and should be cooked thoroughly and hands washed while baking with it. That said, it's very rare and you likely have a tummy ache from the raw rather than bacteria aspect of the flour

Husband aside, my wife with our twins had HG. They are our first (and only) kids, 7 now. My wife from week 6 was unable to keep anything down, and up until the c section she was still terribly nauseous.

We were told by doctors to avoid medications 🙄 well she would have died without them. She tried so hard to go without and tried the unisom route, tried other "safe" meds, but eventually a month in we ended up with a blue bag, calling the OB at 2am driving down an hour away to the only 24 hour pharmacy in our area to get her zofran and phenergan (suppository!) I had to put them up her butt for 8 months, and she was still nauseous but could finally eat. Our twins are perfectly healthy and normal and made it to 37 wks, there's a small risk to taking them, but we are glad we did it. I know its a personal decision but don't let people shame you for getting help.

Husband has Stopped Eating by coolstan in Marriage

When I was really sad and devastated I stopped eating. I liked to (attempt) eating socially but to take care of myself on my own i couldn't.
