ChipDale's (Jane's) prowess as a gourmet cook has become an integral part of Intercot lore over the past few months.
In the spirit of Intercot helpfulness, I'd like everyone to contribute their own little tips and suggestions for helping her advance in her culinary endeavors.
Here are a few I've gathered:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Anything that makes you gag is spoiled, except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night.
<LI>When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, an egg is probably past its prime.
<LI>Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already.
<LI>If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, mayonnaise is spoiled.
<LI>Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled-- or wrecked, anyway-- by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife.
<LI>If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled.
<LI>Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the vegetable crisper without Comet.
<LI>Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a basketball should be disposed of. Carefully.
<LI>A carrot that you can tie a clove hitch in is not fresh.
<LI>Wine should not taste like salad dressing.
<LI>Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth.
<LI>If you can take chip dip out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has gone bad.[/list]
GENERAL RULE OF THUMB:
Most food cannot be kept longer than the average lifespan of a hamster.
Keep a hamster in your refrigerator to gauge this.

Soup should drain through a slotted spoon.
Gravy should be brown or off-white, never gray.
You should not need to use a jack-hammer to slice a cake.
When the instructions on a package say to add the noodle and spice packets, that means to open them and add the contents, don't just throw the entire package into the pot.
Any food that moves of its own accord is unsafe to eat.

If the restaurant you originally got the take-out food in the back of your refridgerator from is now closed, don't eat it.
Mold is not a food group.
If you chip a tooth on dinner, chances are it's no good.

Now, I'm not saying that this applies ONLY to ChipDale's cooking....
You know you are a lousy cook if....<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Your family automatically heads for the table every time they hear a fire siren
<LI>Anyone has ever broken a tooth eating your homemade yogurt.
<LI>Your kids know what "peas porridge in a pot nine days old" tastes like.
<LI>Your son goes outside to make mud pies, the rest of the family grabs forks and follows him.
<LI>Your kids favorite drink is Alka-Seltzer.
<LI>You have to buy 25 pounds of dog food twice a week for your toy poodle .
<LI>Your kids got even with the neighborhood bully by inviting him over for dinner.
<LI>Your kids got suspended from school for trying to smuggle toxic waste in their lunch bags.
<LI>Your husband refers to the smoke detector as the oven timer.
<LI>No matter what you do to it the gravy still turns bright purple.
<LI>You burned the house down trying to make jelly.[/list]

Ed?? Do you know these things from experience???
Here's a few more:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI> Bread should not have fur.
<LI> You do not need to rinse spaghetti noodles before cooking.
<LI> If there is any question as to something's identity - it's bad - throw it away.
<LI> Don't ask someone "Are you going to eat this?? If not, I am just going to throw it away." Just throw it away.
<LI> Warning - If you discover a bag of cauliflower or broccoli in your vegetable drawer that has been there for an extended period of time - DO NOT OPEN IT - If you do, you'll likely have to move, and so will most of your neighbors.[/list]

Wow.. good thing you mentioned the potatoes.. I thought the plant was a bonus.
Don't feel bad Jane.. you are not alone.
My rule of thumb for cleaning the fridge: Only peaches should be fuzzy.

We have a rule in the house, if it tastes "wrong" or "funny" we immediately throw it again. I know this is a funny thread, but seriously, sometimes you can't tell when something goes bad and your meal just tastes a little "off". Don't think, "hmmm. It's just me." Toss it. I've had too many bad experiences and I've finally learned from it.

Poor Jane!
Your screen door can also double as a handy cheese-grater
In a pinch, frozen water can substitute for ice
Steak + Crest does *not* equal "steak tartare
Forget to pack the grill? No problem -- just spritz some olive oil on your engine block and you'll be cooking in no time..
Sorry, Jim & Ed made me do it

It can also be used as a strainer. Tennis rackets also work well for this.

Is it true the toxic-train derailment near Baltamore was Jane's Soup of the Day?
I ate the fuzzy cheese. No ill effects.
But the walls are telling me to 'Shoot The Weasel' and I can't find the volume gerbil.......

I'll have to come to the defensive for ChipDale:
I have always enjoyed everything I have eaten that ChipDale has cooked!
