Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 i bought lamb at whole foods about a week ago and on the label thats printed for the weight machine at the supermarket it says " sell by 2/12/08 " today is the 14th. i forgot to put the meat in my freezer. it looks fine, but it has an odor that is putting me off. i know that i am sensitive to smells more than most. i asked my neighbor and she said its fine and she would use it. i am unsure if this might make me sick.. it was so expensive that i feel guilty if i dont cook it. do people think it will be ok? obviously i take total responsibility.. i just cant seem to decide.. and it is the first day after drinking the nut milk i am feeling human again with energy.. ready to cook!! jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Jodi, If you're uncertain about the lamb, cook it and gift your neighbor with it! It won't go to waste, and you won't make yourself sick worrying about it. We had some chicken last week -- it smelled OK to me, but when Harry bit into it, he said, " This has gone off. " So I dragged some homemade hot dogs out of the freezer, and we had those, the green beans I'd originally fixed, and some homemade pickles. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 thanks marilyn, that's what i did this morning! my neighbor was thrilled and i made myself a veg casserole with dripped yogurt! came out delish and i made quite a mess, steaming and sauteing and stuffing it into a corningware! i must say i am feeling so so much better today!! i had energy and i slept 10 hours (been sleeping 7+ hours a night this past week) i think scd is helping my insomnia and it is totally helping my eyesight! i know it sounds crazy, but i dont feel i am so light sensitive and i dont need to wear my glasses all the time!! it is so awesome! jodi my teens and twenties sucked.. i think my late twenties/thirties are going to rock! i have never felt this energized and i am still so green to this whole thing. > If you're uncertain about the lamb, cook it and > gift your neighbor with it!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Boy!, that certainly is a long time for it to be sitting around!(presumably refrigerated) & I dont blame you for not wanting to waste it. I would give it a really good wash & dry off with paper towels, cook it with lots of fresh herbs eg. rosemary, & go by the odor when its cooking/cooked. Someone else may have other ideas.
