Cooking Kids

Thought I’d end the month with the food joke of the week. I’ve got a fun joke for the kids and then some unconventional ways to determine food spoilage. Enjoy!

 Sammy: Daddy, are caterpillars good to eat?

Daddy: I’ve told you we don’t talk about things like that during dinner.

Mommy: Why would you ask that anyway?
Sammy: Because I saw one on the lettuce daddy ate, but now it’s gone.

Food Spoilage Table

THE GAG TEST-Courtesy of e-cookbooks.com
Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers
from what you cooked for yourself last night).

EGGS
When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the
egg is probably past its prime.

MEAT
If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from
a three-block radius to congregate outside your house,
the meat is spoiled.

CANNED GOODS
Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a
basketball should be disposed of. Carefully.

WINE
It should not taste like salad dressing.

POTATOES
Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense,
leafy undergrowth.

GENERAL RULE OF THUMB:
Most food cannot be kept longer than the average life span
of a hamster. Keep a hamster in your refrigerator to gauge this.
