You opened a brand new 1 gallon tub of plain yogurt and saw a quarter-size colony of green mold on the top?

Keep in mind that in this scenario you are five months pregnant and your stomach is grumbling, despite the fact that you are eating fish sticks at that very moment.

Would you,
A) Scoop the mold off and keep making your coleslaw
B) Put on pants and go to the store to get a refund/fresh tub of yogurt
C) Eat something else (HA!)
D) Wake Sweeter and make him go to store

??

D)

E) Make the coleslaw with mayonnaise like normal people/plants instead.

I'm changing my answer to E.

I'd eat something else for sure...I wouldn't wake Sweeter. You want to save the "wake up Sweeter" card for something more important.

Larry! NO! Mayonnaise in addition to Italian dressing is just too much oil. Baby needs some dairy.

What's more important than coleslaw?

Yes, RA, especially as he's now sick from our visit with the nephews. We always get sick every time we see them, it's just inevitable. And he went to bed at 8:30 and he's been snoring for 90 minutes so I know he's not faking it to get out of replacing my yogurt.

I've faked sleep my way through many things.

I didn't KNOW about the Italian dressing part of the equation.

There is NOTHING more important than coleslaw.

RA, fake slept, maybe?

Etymology
From Dutch koolsla, kool - cabbage, sla - lettuce, also short form of salade - salad.

faked the act of sleep. "faked sleep". But "fake slept" works, too.:)

B or A. Is the yogurt expired, or just a bit moldy? And can moldy yogurt hurt you or a baby? If it's not expired and just a bit moldy, I might just do A, but I'm also not pregnant.

There's actually a livejournal community for these sorts of questions, called, "canIeatthis", I think. :P

I just updated the wikipedia definition:

Coleslaw: sometimes simply called slaw in some American dialects, but most often referred to as simply "delicious" is a salad consisting primarily of shredded raw cabbage. It can also include shredded carrots.

My sentence structure fails late at night.

Angie, I'm a huge believer in the "sell by/use by/best by" date, and it wasn't until mid January! It just looked like a drop of perhaps sweaty yogurt packer sweat fell on it, or maybe dirt from a yogurt factory pipe. It had bloomed to perhaps 1" diameter circle, and was light green.

But what is yogurt, if not mold anyway, right? Isn't it just a bacterial process?

Jaimie's on another planet today, methinks.

Anyone ever watch Hoarders on A&E? They had a lady on there with yogurt that was six months out of date that she still ate. She said it was fine to eat unless the containers were bulging at the sides.

Back to the topic at hand, I'd go with C. The Wake Up Sweeter card will increase with value the longer you hang on to it.

My sister figured out this weekend why it's called cole slaw. She was very excited. Apparently cabbage is a member of the cole family of crops.: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/PL...

I'm going a little Christmas crazy and I'm packing up at work. We're moving to a new office building.

Ah. That explains it.

I've carved the moldy spot off of a block of cheese before - can't see how this is much different. So, if that's what you were craving, scoop that part out and slaw on. (If RA can make a verb out of nothing, so can I!)

My grandfather used to yell "It's just penicillin! How can that be bad for you?" when we would act sqeamish about mold on cheese, so....I still scrape it off or scoop it out. In fact I am still a little squeamish and sometimes just throw the whole thing away.

(If RA can make a verb out of nothing, so can I!)

Hell yes!

I would eat something else but only because I find both yogurt and cole slaw rather unappealing. If that mold were on my Yum Woonsen, say, it would be another matter.

Oh, well, of course. That's your Yum Woonsen.

*googles Yum Woonsen*

I had to do that, too.

feels too lazy to google today, especially after already having to defend Monty Python's funniness, of all things...

Okay, I'll ask:
What's Yum Woonsen?

Thai Mung Bean Noodle Salad, Jackie redbird.

Ah, thanks Larry! Nope, never had that.

Yeah, It sounded like something I can't imagine mold growing on, so I had no retort.

Isn't a retort something you would use in a chemistry lab?

If there is mold you can see there is lots of other mold that you can't just because the concentration isn't that high.

Since it was a one gallon tub (and I didn't even know you could get it in such quantities) you could probably dig down deep enough to be safe.

I would probably just throw it out and have some cookies.

There aren't enough cookies in the whole wide world to satisfy this hunger, Atto.

Speaking of cookies, I tried "cookie pie" tonight - oreo cookie crust, layer of chips ahoy (each cookie dipped in milk), layer of cool whip, another layer of milk-dipped chips ahoy, another layer of cool whip - then refrigerate. Sounds terrible, doesn't it? But it was yummy! Leave it to a bunch of old southern ladies to come up with some of the most unusual desserts.

Beignets and fried turkey (not at the same time, of course) tomorrow..... I swear, if I lived here, I'd be the size of a house.

Mmmmmmm....beignets.....

My sentiments exactly.

That cookie pie sounds excellent to me.

OK that TOTALLY does NOT cover what Yum Woonsen is! Yeah it's thai noodle salad but it also has scallions, shrimp and minced chicken. It's in this perfect fresh-tasting, lemony, spicy red chili pepper sauce. DE-FUCKING-LIGHTFUL I tell you.

want.

And now, so do I! I wonder if Thai restaurants are open on Christmas Day. They usually list it under appetizers and someone always wants to share it with me. I almost never get a whole one all to myself.

I will share it! Then I will follow it with that spicy beef salad I always get. I love Thai food so hard.

I'm late to the party, but oddly enough my husband and I tried to go eat Thai food on Christmas night, but no luck. Our local eatery was not open.

Secondly, I've never had Yum Woonsen. I'm a bit new to it, but we are on a bit of a Thai kick recently. I'll have to try it. Thirdly, I've also never heard of making coleslaw with yogurt. Lastly and also oddly enough, my husband brought home a tub of coleslaw just yesterday only to find a big gob of blue in the middle.

We returned ours.
