Traveling today for Thanksgiving reminded me that not only is it guest bed season, it is also food poisoning season.

My in laws were traveling with us and were transporting the sweet potato casserole they cooked nearly a week ago and the green bean casserole made the same time.

It has been in their fridge all this time but they insisted it was fine to travel without being in a cooler with ice for the 4 hour trip.

I won’t be eating either of those dishes tomorrow.

Be careful eating tomorrow, and if any doubt, don’t.

Won’t have anyone else over, so food poisoning is cancelled here!

*spits wine out at the screen laughing* sorry for the splatter LOL

Your story is right out of Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
My MIL often had questionable food handling practices, would regularly do stuff like bake a lasagne and then leave it out on the counter all night before putting it in the fridge in the morning.

She'd get upset when we'd refused to eat the leftovers. :-) She got food poisoning way more often than we did. She'd just chock it up to "Oh these things happen sometimes."
 
I'd be far more concerned that she made these dishes over a week ago than that she's transporting them without keeping them cool. I push the limits pretty far, but yeah... even I wouldn't eat these. Neither of these dishes are acidic or salty enough to "discourage" bacterial growth. Hopefully you put them in the trunk, which isn't heated, and you are traveling in cold-weather states!
 
Reminds me of my dad. He ordered pies from Whole Foods a week before Thanksgiving 2020 and left them on the counter of his warm kitchen for the whole week. Then he was pissed that the pies were moldy. I did not eat anything he served that day.
 
Yeah that's gross and no one should eat that

My main thing these last couple of years is cutting desserts with utensils that you lick your fingers in between doing so and then dive back into handling each person's portion....I have employed my husband to be the person to gently take over that task of cutting the desserts so the person who did this doesn't have the chance to do so.
