Since there was leftovers from dinner last night, my mom packed it this morning so I could bring at the office for lunch.I could save some money at the same time enjoyed the deliciousness of homemade food. When I arrived in the office, I immediately attend in to some works and forgot to put my food in the fridge.Lunch time when I found out that my rice was already spoiled and wasted. Thankful and luckily that one of my colleague brought quite excess amount of rice and gave me some.I could bring a cup of rice in the cafeteria within the building but she insist to gave me and don't let me to buy since it was too much for her. Next time, I will not forget to put my foods in the fridge especially those foods prone to spoilage.

Oh, good for you that your colleague had some extra rice. Yeah, don't forget to put your food in the fridge. It's good that you have a fridge at work. We are not allowed to use the fridge at work. LOL. Happy mylotting.

You didn't mean to have the rice spoiled so it really is not your fault and thank your office mate for bringing extra amount of rice with her! Lesson learned that next time, put your food in the fridge so that next time it wont spoil and no food would go to waste.

I believe that all of us have made the mistake of not getting our food into the fridge quick enough at least once. For me, this is something that I've been guilty of many times in my life. However, it isn't something that I let happen anymore because I've become a lot more conscious about not wasting because food that is wasted is also money that is wasted. I'm so glad to hear that one of your friends was able to offer you some of her rice so that you didn't have to spend any money to replace your spoiled food.

a pleasant day to you, in my end here, we sometimes encounter to have spoiled rice. and this is due to the heat of the weather. so we are storing our rice inside the fridge after we have had our meal, either breakfast or lunch.

How many hours was it out of the fridge? I'm sure it was fine, unless the weather or temperature of the office was extremely warm. Was there meat in it or uncooked meat?.

Well I don't forget to put it in the fridge this morning.Maybe the hot temperature this morning when I arrived could be the reason why it was spoiled.

Was your rice mixed with anything? I don't understand how it could spoil in that short length of time. I've mistakenly left some out overnight and it was still good to eat. Was the temperature hot where you left the lunch package lying out?

It was separated with other food.I don't know what happened and factors why it was spoiled.I guess maybe the temperature.

Rice gets spoiled very easily. You have to see to it that your store it safely inside the fridge the moment it cools. There's always a lesson to be learned from all these lapses. Happy eating!

I used to put my foods in the fridge if it is prone to spoilage or leftovers but today, maybe due to busyness and things that I have to attend to right away this morning, I forgot to put it in.

I have never experienced this before, but I remember a colleague who made a really delicious adobo for her lunch. She even said that she packed more so she can share it with us. She's practically drooling when the lunch hour comes, only to find out that her rice was also spoiled. We didn't know how it happened but she said now she knows that there's nothing worse than having a really delicious viand when you're super hungry only to find out that your rice is spoiled. It is true that a good rice can make or break even the most perfect of dishes, haha!

I used to be careful with my foods especially when it is leftovers to avoid getting spoil so I used to put it in fridge right away once I arrived at work.Since it was really a busy day, it skipped in my mind to put it in and just attend to my work right away.
