Pickles by Brian Crane for May 11, 2016

“Weird Al” Yankovic, anyone? (Something stinks in the fridge today And it’s been rotting there all weekIt could be liver cake or wooly mammoth steakWell, maybe I should another peek!)

reminds me of George Carlin’s “Ice Box Man” routine. He found something, could be meat, could be cake. He asks his wife if it’s good. “Well, smell it.”“it has no odor whatsoever.”“It’s good. Put it back. It’ll turn up in something.”“That bothers me.”

My refrigerator has become a storage place, for things that will eventually be fuzzy.

I cook all our protein at one time on Sunday, (I’m disabled, I do it when hubby is home to help a bit) then the rest of the week I make meals made with said proteins, so I guess we eat leftovers 6 days a week….some stuff, like meatballs/sauce, pot roast, pulled pork/beef/chicken is better the next day anyway.

We call it Mystery Meat

I wonder how long it’s been there.

chicken/pork…. something like that….

If it doesn’t smell or isn’t fuzzy, just eat it, Earl. . .that’s our house rule. . .

Hey, it was pretty good. You can’t be particular.

Looks like yesterdays meatloaf.

As long as it is not alive like some of the other leftovers in the fridge.

I love leftovers but my other half…not-so-much. She is very picky about what she’ll eat a second or third time. Me…as long as it hasn’t grown fur, turned blue or green, doesn’t glow in the dark, or totally overwhelm my olfactory senses, then I probably will eat it.If cooked food has been in the fridge over two days, she’ll toss it out. I try to explain that some things just require a bit of aging to improve the flavor but she doesn’t buy that argument..

It might’ve been meat,It might’ve been corn,Perhaps ‘twas peasOr chickens unborn.The best way to know,The best way it’s toldWhat did it show?What color was the mold?

Mystery Meat

Soon Earl will have the trots.

Please don’t ask me what that means! I’m not sure if it’s just a British term or Americans use it as well.
