Congrats on the car sale, JZ - nice to have a bit of breathing room, huh?
Also, congrats on the job offer, Matt and Beth!
I'll be in my bunk.

It's been easing up all day, but I'm still paranoid that anything I eat/drink/do will make my teeth go supernova.

Poor Tep. Feel better.
Okay, quick hivemind question...I just realized that a pork loin we bought fresh last Sunday never made it from the fridge to the freezer. It hasn't been unwrapped since the guy wrapped it at the deli counter. Is it okay to eat still? Please say yes.

Kristin, in your shoes I would open it up - looking for discoloration, sniff it, and feel it - if it still looked, smelled, and felt fresh, I'd cook the hell out of with a whole lot of cayenne or hot sauce.
But if you want to play it by the numbers, make it go away.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
What WindSparrow said. The health department would advise you to throw it out. I would (if it didn't smell bad) cook the hell out of it and eat it tonight. The health department says you can't tell if something will make you sick by sniffing it so... do you feel lucky?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you get migraines I'd skip it--leaving it in the fridge increases the amount of tyramine in the meat which can trigger migraines. But they're okay for "normal" people.

Damn damn damn. Ok. Sigh. I guess we should toss it. It just blows, because it was expensive Whole Foods pork loin! Argh.

ita is, unfortunately, more of a migraine expert than I am, but, migraines aside, I'd eat it if it smelled okay, particularly since you're unlikely to be eating pork rare.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm being all productive -- I'm making freezer vegetable broth. When I cook, if I have leftover bits and pieces of onions or celery or carrots or potatoes or something, I put them into a ziploc bag in the freezer, then when the bag gets full, dump the whole thing into a big pot with a bunch of water, cook it into broth, and then put the broth into 2-cup containers in the freezer. Usually works out to making new broth about 4 times a year. It's not much actual work, but the actual cooking part feels all frugal and productive. Plus, it makes my apartment smell yummy. This batch has a whole lot more scallions than usual, and an apple core that I threw in thinking it couldn't hurt.
