One Turkey Sandwich, Hold the E. coli

My husband never throws away food that languishes in the refrigerator.  Conversely, I may be too quick to throw away food.  I am very afraid of my family falling victim to foodborne illness, so I tend to toss leftovers first and ask questions later.

This morning, my husband asked if I might make him a sandwich with the leftover roasted turkey we had for dinner last week.
"Uh, er, grf, zwff."
"No, you did not throw it away!"
"Of course I did.  We ate it last week.  It is now Thursday."

So now I must justify my action with some facts.  Ok, folks, here they are, straight from the USDA's website.  No need to thank me for saving your stomach honey!

Daily Photo: Halloween Is Coming!

Both of my little ones are already dressing up in costumes almost daily and have decorated baby pumpkins.  If last year was any indication, the excitement should reach an absolute fever pitch by October 31 and the costumes will be threadbare!
