allthumbs Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 I'm gonna ask you experts- I want to cook up some costco bacon that's been opened and in my fridge for about a month. Smells fine, only a touch of green on the edges. Is it still good? I'm starvin' Quote
sk Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 I would eat that only if I realy wanted to spend the next few days puking Quote
allthumbs Posted January 9, 2003 Author Posted January 9, 2003 That's about what I figured. Chef Boyardee it is then. Quote
Off_White Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 I dunno, food poisoning might be one of the answers to that "how to lose those 5lbs" question in the other thread. We once ate some unrefrigerated pork whilst climbing down at Canon Tajo, just kept cooking it a little longer each day. Maybe it was the conditioning from all those street vendor tacos that kept us safe. As a funny bacon story, we took a pound of the stuff in to the Bugaboos, but after days after day of snow and rain we were ready to bail, so we cooked up the whole thing in that big ass hut. Talk about stinking the place up! All the other residents sorted themselves out into two camps, those who were disgusted and those who started to hover around the stove, eager to help consume the crispy pig product. Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Meat doesn't go bad, especially bacon. Cook it and it's fine. Serious. In the old days, there was hardly a refrigerated storage method, and most seemed to live. But, bacon is pretty fatty, and I've been hearing about your waist-line, so the green might be a pretty good excuse to make a banana smoothy instead! Quote

AlpineK Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Americans are scared of dirt and germs. Look what its got us. Kids nowadays are much more likely to be allergic to stuff because their parents were keeping the house sanitized with anti bacterial products. I say keep your immune system tough and eat the bacon.

allthumbs Posted January 9, 2003 Author Posted January 9, 2003 Tell ya what Kurt. You come over and join me, and we'll chow that shit right up. Hey, we can wash it down with some sour milk. bwahahaha Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 True indeed! We keep washing our hands with antibacterial soap, and feeding cattle enough antibiotics to choke a, um, horse, and then we totally lose our shit when scientists start discovering resistant microbes and people die from staph infections that won't respond to Penicillin. Doy. There was an article about Yvon Chouinard in Outside about six months ago, and he was saying he absolutely forbade his kids to wash their hands after using the bathroom, playing, or whatever. Seems logical to DFA; keep that immune system honed. There was an article on MSN, too, about a study that concluded that kids who didn't scrub their little mitts clean all the time had healthier immune systems. Piss on your hands for better health!

sexual_chocolate Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 In other words, eat the green bacon? Quote

sexual_chocolate Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Hey why don't you quote Thelonius once in a while, huh? Quote
glen Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Tis true, eating bad food can give you some serious weight loss. Someone in Peru didn't wash thir hands, and I ended up with a nice case of amoebic dysentary. Lost 25 lbs in a week. Of course, the ambulance ride through Lima en route to the hospital after I collapsed and went delusional was a less-than-ideal side effect. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Hmm ... can't play the piano. Sorry. Quote

fleblebleb Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 I cannot believe what happened here. Honest answers? You people need help Quote
allison Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 I'd like a good answer to how to toughen the immune system. Every time my sweetie returns from Asia one, or both of us, gets sick. Flame suit on, any real suggestions? Quote
Greg_W Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 At your advanced age, your immune system is what it is. If I'm travelling, especially flying, I use "Airborne". You can get it from Trader Joe's. It's a vitamin and immune system booster that has helped me ward off colds my toddler brings home. Have SO take it before leaving and before returning, and maybe you do the same. Try that, or cut out the tonsil-hockey for a few days after he returns. Quote
