That Cooked Rice You Saved Last Year

Listen up. Do not reheat and eat that rice you saved in the refrigerator last year. It may harbor spores of Bacillus cereus bacteria (shown below) that is still clinging to life. The bacteria produces toxins that can unplug your bottom (it's called the state of diarreal exuberance).

A collegue of my sister's shared this info. You can find more at the Ask Sam site, part of the UK government's Food Standards Agency. There's even videos of Virtual Sam, the nutritionist. Her messages are short. I mean real short. The first time I watched the videos, I heard a 'Hi' , a blur and then a 'Bye'. So, listen carefully. (She's either shy or knows how good our attention span is.)
