    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    both of them - the only way to keep stew bug free is the way I was taught (before refrigertion) is - to bring it to boil every day and simmer for twenty minutes.
    with fridge - three days maximum!
    chuck them both!
    I hate waste - but I hate illness more - sorry hun.

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Personally, I think there might be tiny bit of over-reaction going on here. If the stew was popped in the fridge as soon as it had cooled it should be perfectly fine to eat. Goodness knows, if you bought a cooked and chilled stew from the supermarket it would have a shelf-life of at least a week. Ditto the cooked chicken if the fridge is cool enough. It's not like they've been stood in a pantry or anything

    Waste not, want not.

    I made soup last friday from chicken & stock from freezer (defrosting from the weds) and I ate the last of it today-weds (nuked in micro)
    just had veg, barley, lentils, stock and a bit of chicken(was worried re actual chicken in it-will let you know tomorrow if have escaped 100% unscathed-have had campylobacter in the past(and work with animals) so quite food safety conscious, but reckon am nuking well past boiling point, so it should kill most things :rotfl::rotfl:fingers crossed and all that :o:D:cool:;)

    Sunday to Friday, in a fridge I presume, is a bit long. I'd freeze it in the meantime.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
