Dear LJ:

If I have a package of sausages and the plastic over the top is all swelled up, that means I should not cook and eat them, right? Straight to trash, do not pass go, do not collect $200?

Yeah, trash. Unless food poisoning is your idea of a fun time.

[smittywing]

Drat. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks!

[shetiger]

Noes! :(

I made beef stir fry. Unfortunately, I remembered why I never make beef stir fry anymore--the beef never ends up tasting very good.

(I am around.)

[smittywing]

Awww. Why do you think it doesn't taste good? Does it get overcooked or is it the sauce or something?

(I have waved you.)

[ratcreature]

Yeah. I mean, I'm a vegetarian, but I wouldn't even eat tofu sausage if it had something like that. I can't think of any explanations besides bacterial growth that produces gases for such an effect. It's like the warning to never eat tins that bulge outward, I suppose.

[smittywing]

I've committed to not thinking about it very hard, but yeah, that sounds like a probable explanation.

[icarusancalion]

That would be wise.

[smittywing]

Thanks. I just need to double-check these kitchen things.

Unless your trash gives you $200 for not passing go and giving it sausage.

[smittywing]

Yeah, my trash is sadly not that generous. Have you seen that post on adulthood? I thought I was doing pretty good this week but now I'm like, "...or not."

CLEAN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL THE THINGS!!!

(don't worry - I think I have seen almost every single person on my f-list referencing that post this week. i think 95% of "functioning adults" don't feel like it most of the time. ;-))
