How long can you freeze meat for?
Hi all OK, we've been through the use by date theories, so what about freezing stuff? I notice that if you buy "fresh" prepacked meat at the supermarket it says suitable for home freezing, and usually use within one month. I've got some stewing steak in my freezer that has been there getting on for a year (slapped wrist…

Use by date on food
You know when they put a use by date on food, does it really really definitely have to be used by that date, or do they put a date a day or two before it would really go off, just to cover themselves?

We have no carpets, but wooden flooring,…

Yogurt without a starter
I started off a batch of yogurt yesterday and only this morning when I was looking in the fridge for something did I realise that I forgot to put the starter in.
