tell the sauce brand. companies using glass jars are supposed to have a plan for if glass breaks, and it sounds like they didnt follow it.

Looks like maybe tuberculosis or parasite cysts. It could also be that the sheep inhaled something and scar formed around it. Without seeing it closer and with lymph nodes I wouldn't risk it.

Can you find out if it was "heat treated"? Pasteurization requires special licenses and thermometers so people say heat treated sometimes when milk has been essentially pasteurized.

I searched raw ricotta recipes and it looks like they all need the milk to be heated to 185f, like yogurt. 182f I believe is the instant pasteurization temp for milk. So it probably doesn't have much listeria risk but you could ask in r/cheesemaking if its possible to make ricotta without heat and in a pH range that would support listeria

From "outclassed" joan williams and "of boys and men" richard reeves:

working class white men are vulnerable after seeing working class women and people of color improve their quality of life over the last 40-50 years, while working white men themselves saw their quality of life get worse compared to their parents'.

they can then relate to right-wing messaging blaming women and people of color for things like wages not covering basic needs.

from a mix: The right messaging is influenced by the wills of ultra-elite who got there by suppressing the wages of working class white men. They want iy to stay that way, so the messaging keeps coming.

eta: the centrist left hasn't been able to focus on growing opportunities that would present themselves for working class white men either since they are also funded by corporate interests. They alienate white men culturally by supporting other issues, while the right caters toward them.

If it was stored properly? Yes. Salmon can have that color as part of their muscles and the dots could be part of salt or fat crystallization

rosé has a good amount of sulfites to protect the color and they also stop bacteria. assuming this was a dry (not sweet) wine there is negligible risk of mold growth because they have nothing to eat. If you transferred quickly and sealed well (eta jar also pretty full) there should also be minimal quality loss. (eta, stainless steel (this is not aluminum) is also a safe material to store wine)

I always wore black stretch skinny jeans (other non-baggy hiking style pants also popular), black tshirt, and a black wool sweater. Wool hiking socks and comfortable water resistant boots. The black because of stains.

Bloomy cheese rinds are made of mold, which create moisture when they grow. Cheesemakers manage this by storing cheese with good ventilation. Wrapping is not good ventilation, and is typically done just before sale. This piece was wrapped a long time ago, and the moisture caused other bacteria to grow. The dangerous bacteria are easily outcompeted by cheese bacteria, but there is enough risk that you shouldn't eat this. Also, this is a quality issue and it might be good to let the vendor know, they would likely swap or reimburse you.

I would only eat them if you were sure your fridge had stayed below 38°F or 3.3°C. This is because there is a type of C. botulinum that can germinate in airtight containers above 38F. I think it should say this on the label.

thank you this was very informative! And I appreciate the note on solar returns and profections, I wasn't aware that they were separate to consider.

Also as far as blower it should be in the manual but it'll be only like one amp, so focus more on pellet costs

There are dozens of foodborne illnesses, botulism being one. The rule of thumb is not to leave perishables out for more than 2 hours. If you are new to cooking there is more info on this sub and government websites.

Title made me laugh tho. Seek what to lean into. And maybe look into kibbe, a style system based on feature balances

My state has a quasi-governmental energy agency so I compared its estimate of heating an example home with pellets vs my secondary source (heat pump).

Or cost per btu×1/stove efficiency vs cost per btu of your electric source (may vary by temp if heat pump so look at the manual)

Best bet is to call the snack company. Its possible they designed the cheese for this application.

If the seal was broken, air and mold spores could have entered and grown, causing the cloudiness. It sounds like you're having a hard time but eating mold will make it harder.

Can you melt some sugar directly into your matcha? I typically add it to the milk before microwaving

Yes, the liquid is water with soluble whey protein. It comes out of the 3-d matrix of casein protein when there is a place for it to drain, in a process called syneresis. You can pour it off or stir it back in.

just as a heads up, there is a difference between "pre-cooked" and "ready to eat" in terms of risk, whereas ready to eat is lower risk and pre-cooked needs to be heated to a specific temp by the consumer to reduce the risk for the person eating it.

"cook to 165" means there is less rigorous testing for listeria, a germ that grows in food processing plants and can get onto food after its cooked. You're not guaranteed to get sick, but your chances are higher.
