To Eat Or Not To Eat...

At last, I have found my long-lost companion. I no longer have to call my mom every time I have a question regarding the freshness of food! "This chicken has been squatting in my fridge for 2 days. Can I use it?" I ask. "Well, sniff it. If it smells ok, you're good to go." she says. Ah, the blurred, unscientific madness of it all! There is finally a website that unlocks the answers to the ancient secrets of how long honey lasts, whether or not you should wash your grapes before storing them, and if you can eat mustard that's 4 months past its prime. Oh the joy! The website is: http://www.stilltasty.com/. The site offers a great variety of foods, all neatly categorized, for a user-friendly reference. In addition to the categories, it offers recipes, food storage tips, and frequently asked questions. Now I (and my mom) can finally rest easy!

Thanks for the tip...very useful! Funny thing is when I first looked at the link I read it as "still NASTY" HA! So glad it is "still tasty".
