Salmonella Stew, Anyone?

I was being so good, I thought.  I couldn't wait to get home and try my spicy chicken soup.  I chopped all the ingredients last night and left them in the refrigerator so I could dump everything in the crock pot before work this morning and come home to a delightful meal.  I put in all the ingredients, turned the crock pot to low, and went to work.  It was supposed to be awesome. 

Unfortunately, I discovered that I had forgotten to plug in the damn crock pot.  Raw chicken sitting all day in a covered pot with liquids, I don't think so...  I first thought that I would simply cook it on high and kill the bacteria, but there could be toxins that are unaffected by heat.  While I hate wasting the food, I would rather do that than spend the rest of the week hugging the toilet.  I have to go back to the store tonight to buy some things that I forgot, anyway.  Might as well chuck the Salmonella Stew and try again tomorrow.  I am so glad tomorrow is trash day.

"If in doubt, throw it out."  Damn! 

Tomorrow I will come home to a delightful meal.
