General Question How can I make my white chocolate sauce last longer?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Okay so I’m very much a beginner when it comes to making coffee at home lol.
I usually have iced coffee maybe 3–4 times a week, and I recently bought a bottle of white chocolate sauce because I thought it would be nice to add to my coffee. It was honestly a bit of an expensive purchase for me, so I was really hoping it would last me a while.
Bottle say it lasts only 4 weeks after opening 😭
There is absolutely no way I’m going to finish the bottle by then. I probably won’t even get through half of it.
Is there any way I can make it last longer? Can I freeze it somehow, like in ice cube trays and then just take out a cube whenever I want to make coffee? Or would that completely ruin the texture/taste?
I’d really appreciate any tried-and-tested tips because I genuinely don’t want to throw most of the bottle away after spending that much on it 🥲

I'm confused as to why there is a p65 warning on my boxed chili - the list of ingredients is very short and they're all clean. Is it the pea protein maybe?

General Question What could cause this discoloration?

Chicken purchased yesterday, and the discolored piece was hidden by the label, so I didn’t see it until I opened it up. I cooked about half the chicken in the package for meal prep but now I’m wondering if whatever is causing the discoloration could be some sort of bacteria that would make what I cooked unsafe to eat.

Does anyone know what is causing it? Is it safe to eat? And if not, is the rest of the package possibly contaminated too?

General Question Is this chicken leg cooked? I never cooked chicken leg before, how can I tell when a leg is fully cooked?

I already ate one and I didn't like the flavor in the inside.

I just want to know what to look for when cooking chicken legs and if I didn't accidentally poison myself just now.

Here's one I opened up and I added the bone of the one I already ate.

My porridge tasted bitter and now I’m worried I’m going to be ill

0 Upvotes

I just made a bowl of porridge and it tasted slightly odd but didn’t think much of it until the last mouthful which was extremely bitter. I don’t cook my porridge I just have the oats raw. I’ve had the bag for maybe a week or two and it’s been sat open in my cupboard. Is this something to worry about? Should I throw them away?

The sell by date is today, it’s been in my fridge for 3 days. These white marks definitely weren’t there when I bought it. Is it still safe to eat? I’ll probably toss it to be on the safe side but I’ve never seen anything like this.

Had this pesto in our dinner tonight and it didnt pop when opening. Boyfriend said it was fine but now I'm quite paranoid about botulism. Is this normal?

General Question The packaging of my hummus is bulging, is it unsafe to eat?

Purchased this earlier today from Walmart, but when I started making dinner I got it out of the fridge and noticed the light plastic packaging is bulging out so hard I can’t even really push it down or squish it. The bottom of it has these weird little bubbles which I haven’t seen before. (though admittedly I don’t eat hummus often.) is this safe to eat, or is this some sort of bacteria build up?

I've never seen a watermelon with a rind like this before, and as you can see on the chopping board it let out a ton of juice when I cut into it, and it was really difficult to cut into. is it still okay to eat?

edit: it was bought last Thursday and has been in the fridge since then

another edit to add it is quite squishy
