Welcome to Gaia! ::

My old high school has a teacher that "resigned" because he was having sex with a student. Now they're getting married.

The oldest milk I've ever partaken in was only a week outdated. It was still good, but I had my cereal and dumped the rest down the drain. Didn't want to chance it. One time I helped clean out my brother's fridge. I found things growing in there. Then I found an old hot dog that was all petrified. My brother ate it. I gagged as he munched away on it.

"Don't want to waste it."

Blech.

If I don't finish milk a week after it's expiration date, then I toss it. If it's something that has mayo in it, or it is mayo, then i just throw it away at it's expiration date.
If I made it, then I'll throw it away two weeks after I made it.

And I'm really paranoid about food after I had horrible food poisoning once. I was five, or so, and I had eaten some uncooked meat that I hadn't realized was raw, and I was sick for three weeks. I was throwing up, had to pretty much LIVE in the bathroom during those three weeks.

so, yeah, I'm good about expiration dates. Everyone knows my food is always going to be safe, have nothing bad in it, and be cooked to its best.

And you know what really sucks? I like my meat hot pink. If it's steak, or a burger, I like it rare. Mmm mmm.

For some reason, food sits really well with me, and in those occasions that it doesn't, it's usually not for that long. So far. *crosses fingers* We're talking maybe three days tops of icky, wow-my-stomach-feels-like-someone-put-a-speaker-inside-me feeling.

mmm, ice cream. . . <3 Hot dogs WOULD be safe, though, right? And yet, we still eat a hellava lot of them every year.

Mmm, pop corn, too. . . Have you ever had real popped corn with a glaze over them?

My dad hunts and he's the type that actually eats what he shoots so no one go all PETA on me. He even has gloves made out of the hides. I have come to the point where I can't eat regular hot dogs, even though I love hot dogs, because my dad sends all of our deer meat to a locker to be processed. Then we end up with a freezer full of deer and I love, love, LOVE deer dogs and cheddar dogs. I have a package in my freezer right now. I think I'll have that for supper with some vegetable soup I made the other day. I love cooking for myself because then I know exactly what I'm putting in the food and know that I will like it. I tend to be picky. Except with veggies. I love my veggies.

@Dee: That sounds yum. At home I pop my popcorn on the stove anyway. I hate microwave popcorn.

@Lucie: ******** peta. Those hypocrites wouldn't know compassion if it hit them in the face. I think it's cool to go and hunt your own meat like that. It's more humane and natural than factory farming (or even farming in general).

no person with half a mind would support peta and anyone that does needs to be educated. im all for hunting, ive never done it but i support my friends who hunt. i hate killing things, otehrwise i would hunt for my meat all the time. you know its fresh, its made with less chemicals and horomones than farm animals, and its a much more humane death for the animal



and i recently looked up whats in hot dogs and now i refuse to eat them for the time being.

*person is eating hot dog and reading information on hot dog*

"Oh no! That's disGUSting!" *chomp* "I can't believe it! I'm never eating" *chomp* "hot dogs again!"

Moral of the Story: You're probably going to keep eating them no matter what they put in it. Bad for you but filling. And they KEEP making them. *confusion* But I've managed to get over my fear of mustard and that helps, too. ^_^.
