    I'm a moron.

    I made this beef bourguignon last night (pretty good), and it was way too much for one meal. I thought I'd freeze the leftovers for a lazy day.

    I put it into a Ziplock and sealed it, having gotten most of the air out. Then I put that into a vacuum sealer and sealed it tight.

    It was still a bit on the warm-ish side, and I didn't want to put it in the freezer right away, so I left it on the counter at about 6 PM.

    And then, I forgot about it.

    I woke at 1 AM for (ahem) unrelated reasons, and remember the meal sitting on the counter. I popped into the freezer.

    Is it going to be OK, or should I just pitch it?

    Just curious for those who wouldn’t eat it. Do you have no problem throwing it away? Do you not feel like a moron for leaving it out and don’t worry about waste and or loss of money?

      As compared to a bad case of food poisoning? No contest. If you think it might be bad the investment is already gone. How much cost could it be anyway? $10? $20? Is it worth the risk?

      As for the moron part, I have left food out overnight a number of times and no, I just feel ...human. 👽

        Are dogs different?

        Our dog was feasting on a deer leg the other day and we didn’t worry about it because we’ve seen this movie so many times and nothing ever happens.

        Any food poisoning I’ve ever had is never cooked food we made or food passed the expiration date. Smelling it has always worked well for me.

            Ate it yesterday. No problem.

            So far.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              You're probably out of the doghouse by now, Dr. George.
