I left a new pot of soup out all night what do I do?

ah, the cats as the sort of canary in the coal mine!

i was making chili for a work pot-luck on the 30th. i bought ground meat and then got home and relaxed, many hours later i realized that i never put it away. ended up going and buying more the next morning and making the chili before work. now, had it been just for me, i would have used it. but my big fear, making something for a crowd and making them all sick. i did end up using it to give my kitty fried ground beef. he's dying of cancer and is not eating much at all, but he cried at my feet when i was cooking it, turns out, he loves it!

the recipe sounds wonderful, can't wait for you to post it!

Me too! I eat soup all year - even when it's warm. But it's particularly delicious in the winter!

Flybe, both cats and dogs can handle salmonella a lot better than we can. So if the cats can eat it and don't get sick doesn't mean we can, especially 24 hours later.

Having said that, americans tend to err on the side of caution. In Italy, I watch while friends and cousins leave meat out ALL night after cooking routinely.

Who said anything about cats? I am talking real human experimentation here. I don't try this with anything that is too questionable. So far, so good, no adverse reactions.
