Wife is away for 2 weeks in Florida and I made my track sandwich yesterday. Started to feel nauseated about 2:00 but figured must just be first day of the season sickness that happens when you ride shotgun at 150 mph. It was a long ride home and I collapsed in bed about 6pm. Not a good night. Woke up to find this in the bread box. At least the dog didn't get sick. Ug. 1 more week to go. I'd better be more careful :)

All natural Penicillin. Here in Buffalo area we put blue cheese on everything. You just have to build a tolerance……… my wife was in Baltimore for work this week. She sent me a pic of her dinner. Sushi and some sort of Japanese beer. I was eating venison hamburger helper and drinking Miller Lite…….. I confess to really liking Hamburger helper but it's not allowed when my wife is home.
 
That's just plain gross! Many years ago I was seeing a girl. She said in the middle of the night she got hungry and pulled out of the frige a piece of pumpkin pie and ate some in the dark. Next morning she saw the pie was covered in green mold. But, she never got sick from it.
 
I have accidentally ate many a piece of moldy bread. I do not recall ever feeling bad from it. Happened last week again as a matter of fact.
We eat so little bread moldy bread happens often around here

It all depends on the mold and the person eating the mold.

Maybe if I had been hanging around the shop it would not have bothered me as much as being in a car (shotgun) at race track speeds for the day. I'd rather not find out if thats true or not. :)

What we do is keep bread in the freezer.

We buy bread that we like, typically in uncut loaves. I slice it up with a knife when we get it home, put it into or back into a plastic bag, seal the bag and put it in the freezer. When we want to make a sandwich, I pull out the number of slices we need, microwave them for about thirty seconds for a quick thaw, and proceed.

If making toast, straight into the toaster oven.

I think it was in the explorer Admiral Richard Byrd's book, Alone, wherein I read as a kid about finding some frozen bread from the year before that was just fine to eat.

If a food gets bacteria on it when out side the frig for air born particles to land on it,

there is a good chance that they will still grow inside of a frig that is set at 44 degrees.

I have seen deer hanging in 38 degree weather for five days and brought home to warmer 44 degree weather to hang for a few more days, that needed to be wiped down with vinegar, to remove "Growth" that was on the meat.

I also hate it when I see mold on my bread, and there is not enough good bread for me to have a sandwich !! Bummer.
 
Keep the bread in the refrigerator. It's too cold for the mold to grow.

Uh...no. I used to eat a lot of my favorite wheat bread. Always kept it in the fridge so it wouldn't get moldy or stale. Pulled the loaf out one day, removed a slice and started eating. Thought it tasted a bit unusual. Yeah, nasty blue mold does add a bit of flavor :eek:
 
Glasses can be helpful. I was once making home made apple sauce to go with some beautiful thick pork chops. Woopsie. Instead of cinnamon, I put in cumin! Not good, had to toss it.

My wife would sometimes put tarter sauce on my ham & cheese by mistake.
The worse when she would do a mix up and put horseradish on the H&C.
 
I took a home-ec class in 7th grade. Final assignment was a multi-course meal. Salad or soup, main course and a dessert. We split it up and one guy was supposed to do the dessert.
Now, whether it was vision problems or just being stupid, the dessert guy added not the 1 1/2 cups of sugar to the recipe. He put in 1 1/2 cups of salt. When we told the teacher it was inedible, she told us that food was expensive, and we would have to eat it as we weren't going to waste that money. She went on for a couple minutes about it. I finally asked her to just take a bite.
"Just toss it and don't tell anybody."
 
Eyes were sensitive one morning so just used the stove vent fan light. For lunch made a nice sandwich wheat bread deli turkey, swiss cheese lettuce tomato and mayo . Thought about that sandwich all that morning , when finally able to stop unwrapped it and bread was moldy
 
Mom & Dad grew up during The Great Depression so food was not wasted, as far as they knew. If bread was starting to become a science experiment, he would scrape it off when we kids weren't around. More peanut butter would cover the taste that was still on it. There were 5 of us kids, so it was a rare occasion to have moldy bread, but it happened once in a while. Jelly we could spoon the mold off the top. Dip would get the mold, but it seemed to come from the store that way. I don't think I remember dates on food back then.

You made penicillin!!!!!!!!!
 
I always heard not to keep bread, crackers, etc in the fridge because the starches crystalize and it will go stale much faster
