I made a casserole which contains cottage cheese/sour cream/cream cheese, as well as ground beef in tomato sauce. I had a serving for dinner, then left the thing out all night. I put it in the fridge this morning, but I guess I have to throw it out, don't I?
Man, I hate that.
No spending yesterday. I went up to Evanston to babysit and resisted fast food both on the way and back (a big failing of mine).
Today I used a gift card and brought in donuts from Dunkin' Donuts for our Valentine's party.
I am redoubling my saving efforts, any way I can!
Can't believe I left out the casserole

I hate it when that happens.

I've done more times than I can count, and I'm too stubbornly frugal to throw it out and waste it.
Keep it in the fridge. Eat a tablespoon of it now and see how you feel. If nothing happens, don't worry about it!
Bacteria, smacteria! We're all filled with bacteria and germs of all kinds. If it doesn't make you sick, your'e good to go!
Unless, say, you keep your place super warm....my house is 64 at night.

Over 5000 people (in just the US alone) die from food poisoning each year... that's a small percentage of the total food-borne illnesses, but it's also a lot of dead people. For me, when it comes to food issues, I would rather have the insurance of being safe than sorry! (My mother-in-law will eat anything, even carving mold off of stuff, and it drives me crazy. People can eat whatever they want, of course, but I don't necessarily want it fed to my toddler, you know?)
