Thanks again to Rosemary Zwick for today's food funny:

Becky prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party she was giving. In her
haste, however, she forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce, and it
sat on the counter all day. She was worried about spoilage, but it was
too late to cook up another batch. She called the local Poison Control
Center and voiced her concern. They advised Becky to boil the sauce
again. That night, the phone rang during dinner, and one of the guests
volunteered to answer it. Becky's face dropped as the guest called out,
"It's the Poison Control Center. They want to know how the spaghetti sauce turned out."
