Me: I found some hard boiled eggs from a couple of weeks ago in the back of the fridge. Think they are still good?

E: Probably.

Me: Are you sure? It's been awhile.

E: They're fine. *cracks open egg* Yup. Smells fine.

Me: I'm not so sure.

E: *eats egg* Tastes okay. They're fine.

***Fast forward to last night***

Me: Well, what if this isn't the flu and it's something you ate?

E: But I haven't eaten anything.

Me: You sure?

E: Well, I did eat that egg...

ETA: E: I don't think it was the hard boiled egg though.

Me: Wait... didn't you eat the cheese stuffing for the baked ziti before it was cooked? The one with the 2 raw eggs in them.

E: Yeah... THAT egg is more likely.

I still maintain that it was not the egg that caused my ...issues.

More likely the cheese & raw egg from the baked (non-)ziti prep the next night of which I ate a bit.

Heh. I tend to think of hard-boiled eggs as a closed system. You've already boiled the outside, so as long as the shell doesn't crack there should be little chance of bacterial growth. Sorta like canning.

BTW, I LOVE that icon. I've been saying 'Meh' now for a week since seeing it in one of your past posts.

Most public health authorities suggest using hard-cooked eggs by no more than 7 days, IIRC from my days having to watch food service orientations.
