[FONT="]Here's how I did it, step by step (obviously you guys in AK and elsewhere doing your own are OK):[/FONT]
[FONT="]1. Bought a frozen corned beef (packaged) - you can't see what's in the bag but hey, it's cheaper.[/FONT]
[FONT="]2. Upon thawing out said frozen corned beef find there's a lot of blood in the plate it's on. So the bag is compromised, who knows for how long?[/FONT]
[FONT="]3. Made a terrible decision: I'm not throwing out $20 worth of meat! What would Connie say?[/FONT]
[FONT="]4. Cook it - she said it smelled different - but I had used more spices on it and a quick taste seemed like it was the spices - not the meat . . . bzzzzt![/FONT]
[FONT="]5. Ate a full plate of the stuff. Hadn't had it in awhile and was hungry for it.[/FONT]
[FONT="]6. 30 minutes later got the first kick in the stomach and that didn't let up for 9 hours. Spent a lot of time holding on to the washing machine that is next to the bathroom because it's taller than the commode. Night sweats - chills - sweats. Anytime I tried to lay down I'd get those kicks in the stomach again and barfed - so stayed up all night guarding the washer. I now know what real food poisoning is instead of the quick trots and whatnot. I see how people die from it. Past 60 - getting kicked in the stomach all night is not good. Don't do it. Really sore where my liver is so I know it took a beating too.[/FONT]
[FONT=source sans pro, sans-serif]7. Stumbled out this morning and thew the corned beef away. Should have been #1.[/FONT]
[FONT=source sans pro, sans-serif]Just a general comment: I've seen some meats that look questionable and just wonder if in the current environment we're in (labor shortages) if some things aren't getting by the wouldn't otherwise. In any event, be careful. I could have thrown my life away on a silly corned beef.[/FONT]
