Run Eat Repeat

Why I am the worst…

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
29 Sep

Hey! Today has been busy. I’m going on a trip Wednesday and want to be as efficient as possible before I go. Among the tasks, I managed to schedule a mold inspection St Louis for my apartment; it’s something I’ve been meaning to do, considering the recent humidity. I knocked a few important things off my To Do list and have a lot more to do tomorrow. Luckily one of my calls was cancelled so I had extra time to be the worst.

First let me say that GREEN IS (usually) GOOD.

Green veggies are good for ya. Guacamole is amazing (understatement).

i know guacamole is extra

That’s why I had a pile of it at my mom’s yesterday. I cannot get enough.

all the guacamole in the world (600x800)

I wish I would have taken some to go so I could have it at every meal!

This afternoon I was super hungry and wanted a good snack.

Snacks like this require an appetizer so I started with yogurt… except I couldn’t decide on what flavor to have so I half opened two of my favorite yogurts to eat half of each. I intended on just folding the lid back and saving the rest for later.

I ate half and realized I just wanted to finish off one of them. So, I peeled back the whole lid and saw I WAS EATING A MOLDY YOGURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“This is how I die…” was my first thought.

As I slipped in and out of consciousness slowly going toward the light I remembered my friend KT is a NP so I text her to ask if she would feed my cat when I got to Heaven.

She said “no” because she hates cats but did say I probably wouldn’t die so there’s that.

im dead

And so I think I’m going to be okay. But now my pride is pretty banged up since I just shared that story with the whole internet. The end.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I’ve never eaten moldy yogurt but I have eaten moldy hummus and didn’t die so you should be okay.

      That’s why I’m so anal about leftovers. I totally freak over stuff like that. I would have died on spot! And yes, guacamole should have it’s own food group…

      My husband makes fun of me because I’m always telling him that expiration dates are ‘just a suggestion.’ I’ve eaten yogurt that was 8 months past the expiration date that was completely fine and had moldy yogurt that was still within the date. So I don’t think they are good to go by. But mold in your food, I’d be a little creeped out by it.

      Guacamole…yum. Now I want that for lunch.

      Ugh, that’s the worst! I ate mold strawberries once. The horrible thing about it was that they didn’t look moldy and I didn’t even realize until halfway through. They killed my stomach for hours. The hardest thing to figure out is blue cheese though. Like, how moldy is it actually supposed to be?

      So, maybe I have done that…multiple times. A few months ago I realized my Ezekiel toast was moldy about halfway through but you know what? I finished that toast. Because I figured I had already ingested the mold and if I was going to spend the rest of my day on my deathbed I might as well not be hungry while I’m there. Right?

      Also, really happy you didn’t die. Because these stories make my day.

        Ha! If I find mold on a tortilla or something I just cut that piece off and eat the rest. I figure it’s good for my immunity.

      I feel your pain and I have absolutely done that before… with yogurt, bread, granola bars. Maybe I need to pay more attention?
      I was also scarred for life when, as a kid, I was eating some Captain Crunch that had sat in the cabinet too long and eventually realized there were little bugs living in my cereal… UGH.

        I remember finding little bugs in flour when I was a kid and being traumatized for the longest time!

      hahahaha, I don’t think I have ever seen moldy yogurt. Yesterday I found mold in my sandwich and I am now afraid of bread for awhile.

      Hahaha I have exactly the same reaction to things like that! I once drank water out of a water fountain at my drs office and after I had drank like 3 gulps realized the water was white. I freaked out the entire drive home and called my boyfriend to tell him I loved him and I would see him on the other side, he told me to stop being so dramatic….

      Ohhhh nooooo….I hate bad food situations. I recently grilled chicken over a camp fire, checked the temp to make sure it was 165 and everything . I took a bite and it was raw inside…..omg. For the next week I obsessed and convinced myself that I got a parasite from the chicken and made myself feel sick. Everyone around me was tired of hearing about my parasite. So I got over it….sort of.

      In high school I had a big bite of baked potato absolutely covered in spoiled sour cream. I made my mom smell all of my food for months.

      Guacamole should have its own food group – it is that good!
      That was one nasty surprise but I guess that dairy always spoils quickly
