DH is paranoid as all get out and wouldn't touch it. He won't even eat certain foods at a potluck if he thinks the person who made it is kinda nasty (i.e. he's seen the guy not wash his hands in the bathroom type).
I agree with your DH. I haaate potlucks for that reason.
Yep, I am the same. I get skeeved out for no good reason (sometimes). I realize that I have issues.
Spreadable cheese will get confiscated by the TSA. I don't think cream cheese will make it through security in a checked bag.
I hope all those TSA agents at MKE liked the port wine cheese spread we had confiscated. :: kicks dirt::
I had forgotten about this, but we bought some mustard in Amish country and brought it back. I never even took it out of my backpack, it sailed through security.

I would be the type of person to pack butter. As long as you are smart about how you pack it, I don't see it being a big issue. I have no idea if you are "allowed" to bring it through the airport. I love real butter, but could you buy some type of margarine or use jam instead. Canola oil instead of butter for your baking?

Baking? I don't even want to know what she'd do if she needed an egg or two.

Who the fuck is BAKING on vacation in the Bahamas? I get that whipping up some scrambled eggs and toast is easier than going out first thing in the morning, especially with a kid. But seriously, BAKING? No. Just no.

She said she wanted pancakes, I guess in my mind I was thinking muffins.
... I mean, how long can cheese last in room temp before it will turn on you once you eat it?
Depends on the cheese.
The harder the cheese, the longer it can go unrefrigerated. ...
CHEESE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.
Weeks, actually. When we lived overseas my mom mailed us a chunk of parm (at my husband's request) a couple of times a year. I thought he was insane for asking, and I thought she was insane for sending it, and I refused to eat any of it until he had and hadn't gotten sick from it. Our parm would go be least two weeks in transit, usually more. And it was always fine.
So, do you never use the condiments on a table at a restaurant? I doubt it. Those have been handled by wayyyy more people than something left in a vacation rental.

No! I don't use communal condiments ever.
I need more information. Do you use salt and pepper on a restaurant table? Do you just refuse to put ketchup on anything at a restaurant?

My mom told me whenever she would turn her head, I would lick the top of the salt shaker.
My girls don't even wait for me to turn my head. Last night DD2 grabbed the salt and I said "no, you already have enough salt on your food." She said "I wasn't going to put it on my food, I was going to lick it." In all fairness my mom caught me licking a salt lick at the feed store when I was young

This just reminded me - I used to steal bullion cubes from the pantry and eat them. Why???

I still do that. But only with Herb Ox. I recently bought Knorr bouillon cubes and they are not a tasty snack.
