Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Yeah, I'd throw out any meat, milk, and yogurt after that point, but vegetable matter and cheese should be fine. And freezer stuff that hasn't fully thawed should be fine to put in a working fridge and cook the same day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've drunken milk that's been in a non-working fridge for more than 24 hours. With milk you can tell by taste if it's gone bad and by smell if it's more than moderately bad.

I'd be curious to hear from various Buffista experts how reasonable this armor is.

In as much as some of that doesn't even look like armor, but more like heavy cloth--which will work beautifully against some weapons--most of the armor armor looks pretty good. One point, though, is that defined breasts in armor is a bad idea. A bulge to accommodate the extra flesh is much more advisable. You really don't want to take a sideways blow from weapon across pointy bits.

If you're really interested, you can probably Google SCA lady/women fighters to find discussion about female armor. It was a big debate back in the early days, when the women said, "Like hell are only guys going out on the field!" and the men said "But there's no real historical precedent for heavy duty female armor!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If it were me, I'd figure that anything that would be okay after sitting out on a kitchen counter overnight would probably be okay after staying in a non-working but closed refrigerator for a day. It's a big insulated cooler.

On the whole, it's probably a good thing that I don't make the USDA's food storage rules, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit, I had an article by a blacksmith on my Tumblr that talked almost well about the difficulties of making armour for women that came across feminine, but I did not tag it with anything I remember. Oops.

Was it this one, ita ! ?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I remember that armor article too. And have no clue how to find it, as the forests of tumblr are a dark and scary mystery to me. But I'll confirm that it existed and was awesome!

Bingo, Sox. I don't think he went far enough with a solution, but he was good at pointing out issues and discussing why they were issues.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'd worry most about mayo, meat and some kinds dairy.

Meat, yes. Mayo has enough acid in it to keep for a while. (Mayonaisse doesn't spoil in the sun, it just separates and looks gross. But it's not unsafe to eat.)
