MY SISTER
When at my sisters last week she opened a bottle of juice.
I asked her 'Did that click'? her fiancee burst out laughing
I asked 'What's funny'
he replied ' You sound just like her'!!!
My sister also obviously has anxiety issues!! as when her finacee opens a new bottle of juice etc she asks him if it click' just like i do!!!
Oh dear!!!

H'mmm - only I'm nothing like my mum (apart from the fact we're both control freaks).
Thanks for that Lucky - got another food worry to add to my list now! (ha ha) Ever since getting salmonella I am terrible about food hygiene. I argue with my mum who puts bloody raw meat anywhere in the fridge and defrosts meat in the microwave or under the hot tap so she can eat it there and then.(Obviously she cooks it first) And she eats things that have been open for days. And past the sell by or use by date.
I must waste more food because of my anal fixation with sell by and use by dates!
Never thought about the issue of drinks before now!!!!!!!

She has no awareness of food hygiene at all!
I came home yesterday to discover she had put a sponge cake on the bottom shelf, and moved my defrosting chicken onto the second shelf up with the bacon she had bought. She can't understand why I wouldn't eat the cream sponge (ok, so the chicken was still in its protective packaging, and wasn't leaking) but thats not the point.
Also, I only use the glass board for raw meat, and she uses the plastic one which obviously gets grooves from the knife - and then cuts sandwiches on it.
However, the most biazarre thing about the whole food hygiene thing is that when I used to show the horses, there was never anywhere to wash your hands satisfactorily, and we used to smoke, eat and drink during the day, without a thought. And although my horse had had a bath the night before, they still aren't the cleanest creatures in the world - particularly when you've just removed their tail bandage!

I just don't eat anything that has moved between her and the freezer.
Apart from frozen peas - I don't think it's possible to get anything from frozen peas.
Although does anybody have experience with oven chips? She bought a bag back from Fred the Dentists flat the other day, and they were practically defrosted by the time she got home. They are currently residing in the freezer. But will they be safe? They are after all only potato.

My daughter had food poisoning, aged 5, from a dodgy burger at a school fete.
She ended up in hospital and was ill for over a month.
I am obsessed with food hygiene and would never, ever again allow either of my kids to eat barbecued food.
Charlie, cream cake stored under raw chicken??? Arghhhhhhhhhhh
Glad to see you decided to give it a miss!!!
