My mother bought too much food and now expects me to eat it. I have gotten away with tossing the spoiled stuff when she isn't looking. She's forgetful, too, so when she bought something I actually like (shrimp) she left them on the table for a few hours. I socked them in the freezer when I discovered it.
The odor is slightly off, but I put garlic and onion an spices, oh, my. The shrimp aren't sticky, slimy or stinky. They just smell a little odd. I left 2/3 marinating in spices, soy sauce and lemon juice while I cooked and ate 1/3 of them.
Just wondering what the limit is. I don't have the energy to get far enough to any grocery store so I am kind of at her mercy. Today I am eating hot food for the first time because I managed to get the heating done while she was on the phone. Otherwise she comes along and pulls the plug so it doesn't waste electricity (or successfully heat my food).
I might be able to cook the shrimp on the stove - I did last night's meal while she slept. Otherwise she would tell me to put it in the toaster oven. With shrimp, that means it will be over or seriously underdone. I don't know how to cook shrimp in the oven.
