    On the other end, undercooked egg whites. Makes me think of.... Runny egg whites :wink:


    Omg! Runny eggs and limp bacon. The saddest thing ever.

    i did this one year, i cooked a prime rib then let it rest, but i let it rest on the stove and it just cooked it to death.. it was an expensive piece of meat too, well marbled, dry aged.. beautiful, and i just screwed it right up...

    one year for thanksgiving, my mil and her sister took the turkey out of the fridge, then let it sit on the counter for 8 hours, in a hot house. everyone by my husband and i got sick that year... (we didnt eat it)

    Burnt popcorn
    Burnt bacon

    Double dipping :sick:
    Not washing hands :sick:
    Not using cutting boards properly :sick:

    Sitting a purse, backpack, messenger bag, etc on a kitchen counter! Ugh! :grumble: Think about the germs on the bottoms of those things. My mom would always plop hers on my counter every time she would come to visit. After me always moving it, she finally got the hint. :laugh:

    "Just scrape the mold off!" <---Happened in a kitchen I used to work at.

    Also, "If it smells fine, serve it!" "If it falls on the floor, pick it up!" "If it's too old to serve make a soup of the day out of it!" "Don't bother cleaning, I know the health inspector!"

    I did not work there very long.
