Would the FDA close down your kitchen?

Just watched the Red & Green show about the Red-neck 4 wheel drive. Funny how it works like a marriage. That was a good one.

no way...common practice to scrape uneaten leftovers off plates into soup. good gracious that is just disgusting. I don't do that at home!

You put the leftovers in hot water and boil it. What could possibly make you sick??? Not sure I would want restaurant leftovers from OTHER PEOPLE, but at home, with family....sure!

No can't go there. I know it might work but I can not scrape food off a plate that was used and boil...LOL...that is definitely just me.

You know, one reason I serve Nicole now. I used to put more on her plate than she could ever eat, same with Tony. Now I put a normal amt. of food, ya can always go back for another spoonful, therefore not messing up the original dish of veggies or whatever....then they are reusable leftovers to me. I cut portions back on the plates cause I was sick of wasting food --but it went to the dogs mostly so it was never "not used"

Gina on the 5 minute rule....a Dr. performed that test.

Anything not wet or sticky, hardly any bacteria got on the M&M or Skittle or such......but if you dropped a shrimp or meatball or something like that---OMG the amt. of bacteria that clug to it was ICK

dry on floor--OK
wet item on floor--to the dogs!

Thanks Karen, I'll keep that in mind. No eating shrimp and meatballs off the floor!!!

I like that toilet waster idea. If it's good enough for the dog to drink I should be able to mop with it!!!!


Ahhh you guys are killin me!!!!

I think it depends also on how clean your floor is and how clean your shoes (if you are wearing them) are. Ever since I overheard someone talking about getting really bad food poisoning from some meat she ate that fell on the floor, I will not eat anything off the floor . . . oh, ok, you caught me, I will eat chocolate that falls on the floor. It is too precious to waste.

If I see you eating anything off the floor---
you are going to get a talkin' too big time...


I remember that Seinfeld episode.....George at an eclair out of the trash.

But he said it was only sitting on top of the trash so it was safe.



OK fess up, anyone eat anything out of the trash?

I will start---NO WAY

To me there is a force field of germs around a trash can...invisible but I know it is there.. I swear it is there!!

Wait--we all work on animals, poop, hay, feed areas, chicken poop, hog poop, pastures, etc. etc.
Hmm...our floors are suspect every single moment of the day..HAHA

 

[DrakeMaiden]

FarmerChick -- you so funny!

Do you think anyone is going to fess up to dumpster diving NOW? Well, I will say the only thing I have ever taken out of the trash for food was some frozen peas my mom threw away at Thanksgiving. They were in her trash can for about 30 seconds, before I told her they would make great chicken feed. So I fed them to the chickens the NEXT DAY! The chickens are surprisingly still alive. LOL

Oh, and yes, I see duck poop when I look at my floors. Not visible, mind you, but I know it is there.
