emcconaha Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I am on my last week of Whole 30, and while this time through I have struggled mentally, I have made it with no mess ups to this point. Yesterday we had up to 60mph winds here in Indiana and we lost power around 2:15 in the afternoon, fast forward 19 hours later and power is still out. I am afraid that all of the food that I cooked for the week is lost. I brought some to work for lunch, but am afraid to eat it because it wasn't exactly cold when I took it out of the fridge this morning. I am so frustrated and now have nothing to eat, unless I want to try to eat it and risk getting sick, or try to go out to eat, which I am not sure I can mentally handle that right now. Add this to a new cold coming on and I just want to have a huge glass of wine! Thanks for listening, I am just having a pity party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted February 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2019 Aw, man! That sucks! Food is generally considered safe in a fridge lacking power for 4 hours or less. I would personally probably go to about 8-12 hours providing I had not opened the door a lot. Depending on what it is, I'd consider not eating it. Cooked egg based dishes or beef based dishes I would eat before fish or chicken. Veggies should be fine if a bit less than optimal. Sorry you're struggling at this late stage - sending happy electricity thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
