    Sell by dates are just there as a guide - do you think the cows put a "best before" on when they produce? :p

    One of the other parents has very kindly taken DS to the football match, which gives me my morning back, and saves me about £10 in petrol, so I am very grateful. I offered petrol money, but they refused, so I will be happy to return the favour.

    I'll do a bit of pottering instead this morning :)

    Hurray! Thats good, Hypno - this flipping hour forward is a beggar, isn't it .........

    What adventurous use by dates! OTOH, when its stuff that I'm going to cook, I don't care. I even commit one of the worst food crimes - when I cook a meal that contains frozen food, I stick the leftovers in the fridge and use them the next day :)

    I was told by a food technologist that was rubbish KC, as long as you're not doing it with previously cooked food you've cooked again (e.g. roast lamb that you then froze then used as shepherds pie - that shouldn't be reheated again).

    Sorry if that's taken a bit of excitement out of your life :rotfl:

    Pah to clocks going forward but :T to longer nights :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I think I must break every food-safety rule in the book. But I haven't killed anyone. Yet :)
