What first world problem did you have today?

[CountZero]

Not the case, just cut out the mold. Meat is a completely different matter, though. If part of it has turned, throw the whole thing away.

But what if you are dry aging it?

The air conditioner made it a bit too cold for about two minutes before I got up and turned it down. Tsk, tsk.

I was trying out a new sugar shaker/dispenser and poured out something like 3 tablespoons of sugar... Didn't want to pour it back into the small bottle (funnel had to be washed) so I made coffee with 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Just finished it... tasted like shit.

Edit: Half-hour later - my crap factory doesn't feel so good.

yes cheese is mold but I don't want to be eating the fuzzy green kind.

not all mold is created equal.



a big chunk of blue fuzz on a block of cheddar probably isn't going to kill you, but it can absolutely alter the taste and texture, not for the better.

That's why you cut it off. It's very hard for other molds to invade where the cultivated mold already has such a presence.

I came into a thread about first world problems and people are talking about moldy cheese and Aldi milk. dafuq?

I contemplated explaining the concept of a "first world problem" yet again, but at a certain point you have to expect that people will simply never get it. It's a deliberately ironic complaint meant to underscore how much better someone in the first world has it when compared to poorer people who have to deal with problems of basic survival. "My wallet gave me a hernia" is a proper first world problem. "My food is moldy so I need to cut bits off of it so as not to be wasteful" is not. But this thread has given up all semblance of being about the irony of "first world problems;" the thread title should just be changed to "what's bothering you right now?"

Depends on the type of food involved I guess...

Not like it's "my Big Mac is moldy"

Nope. Get a hotel or stay home. It's rare that the wife can change dinner plans on me a day out. People staying in my house? Eff no.

Clearly you are first-world enough to have family that 1) is responsible enough to call ahead and 2) has the money to stay at a hotel

Actually we all live in the same city except my sister and she stays with Mom when she visits. And we all can be a bit difficult (imagine that) and wouldn't think of dropping in unexpectedly.

Not sure what to eat for dinner tonight, so many choices to make.

I'm kind of cold, but I don't know if I want to actually turn the heat up near the end of June. It just feels so wrong to do that. It's 19-20C in the house right now but it feels colder for some reason.

Craving some sour key candies bad... but I already brushed my teeth. Speaking of, why the hell are these never sour?

Oh, and I miss them being stale as hell like when I bought them from the candy store across the street from school -- they probably sat in the box for a year.

I have training at one of our plants M-Thurs this week. I get terrible service on my work and personal phone there. Good news - boss can't call me. Bad news - can't nef on break.

There was a homeless guy sleeping in the middle of my running path. I had to jump over him on the way out and on the way back.

what's a landline?

I read this as "what's a landmine?", and thought to myself that not knowing that is a first world problem in and of itself where some third world countries (and some even not so third world) not only know, but fear landmines in their daily life.

I can't get the stupid cat to come into the air conditioned bedroom with me.

it's like 100F in the apartment even with the windows open/ceiling fans on, and he's languishing on the floor like he's uncomfortable, but even after luring him into the cold air in the bedroom he just pushes the door open and walks back out 5 minutes later.
