It Smelled Spoiled But I took A Chance..........

I fished a bit today then mowed the lawn.  My daughter and wife were working so it was just sonny boy and I for dinner.

 

We had a Hormell pork tenderloin in the fridge but it was marked "Use By July 1st 2014". Considering those things are packaged probably months ago those "use by dates" can mean something. 

 

I guess we'll see how tonight and tomorrow go because it was delicious.

 

I torched the BBQ and dusted them with Bad Byron's Butt Rub.  As they neared the desired internal temp I spread some Sweat Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce on them and finished them off.

 

They were spectacular!  

 

I heated up some leftover peas, we split a sweat potato and I made a salad.  Not too shabby!

 

Hopefully we don't get sick and croak as that July 1 date is still in the back of my mind..................................

Lol... I'm sure it was fine..use by dates are based an a certain temp if your fridge was colder it extends the days

We made it through the night with no adverse effects!

The leftovers will make tremendous sandwiches..........

When I saw the title I thought you were talking about your SOCIAL life....

No worries, all roses there.

 

 

And to think I'll be cooking for you later this week............................................

Its all good. Im sure there is some "just in case" time considered when they print those use by labels.
