    Yeah that's what I was thinking Sami... <sigh> Just wanted to check I wasn't being over cautious... A friend of mine will eat food that's been in her fridge a week :eek:

    Lol, eta... That friend's probably Bruno ;)
    :rotfl: and weezl!
    My mum looked at me funny when I said I wasn't cokking something I'd defrosted straight away :confused: it had defrosted in the fridge so I thought that was all good (and still do!):)

    Ps Krystal would you mind joining fishville? I need 1 more neighbour, doesn't matter if you never play it

    How bizarre! Why does she look? Does she see it as an easy way to catch up with your life?
    I think she's just nosy. She does it to my brothers too (which I know because last time she told me she'd been looking she said she'd looked at theirs too). It's not even like she never sees me - since Alice was born she visits every two or three weeks.
    I have a question...

    I made a sausage casserole a couple of weeks ago and froze half... I got the frozen box out of the freezer on Friday afternoon intending to have it for tea but thought better of it and put it in the fridge to defrost over night and have Saturday... We ended up having something else Saturday night and went out to dinner yesterday and the sausage casserole is still in the fridge...

    Is it safe to have tonight or should I just give up on it?
    I'd probably smell/taste and if it seemed okay I'd do it. I eat stuff I've had in the fridge a week and I've never had food poisoning.

  • Hello ladies!

    Just a quick check in from work :)


    I cooked a pork stroganoff over night in my slow cooker but when I checked this morning the cream had split :(

    It smells lovely so I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with it.

    Any suggestions as to how I can make it edible??

    Was even thinking to the extent of removing and straining (washing) the pork and remaking the stroganoff sauce :confused:

    Or is it best to dump it?

    Dunno what my parents have done to Rhys but he's sparko now! They were in town so called in for a cuppa and I left them with Rhys while I went to the post office - Pookie, sleeping bag is on it's way now ;)

    Only realised earlier that our 1450 appointment is during visiting time so the car park will be heaving :( It bugs me so much that there are only six parent and child spaces for the whole hospital.. and even more so that people without children squeeze into the gaps between them! :cool:

    I'd slake some cornflour/regular flour with water and stir it into the sauce while gently reheating it, should bring it all back together into a smooth sauce :)

    I could be wrong but I think it only matters from an aesthetics point of view. I also have some vague recollection of reading something in my slow cooker instructions about adding cream near the end to stop that happening.
