[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't take it. I need to know how this happened? Argument with spouse over who will clean the kitchen? Sudden, unexpected travel? House so filthy you didn't notice that there was rotting food? Please tell so that I can feel better about myself. I'm not kidding.[/quote]

OP here.  I'll tell you what happened.  Finished most of the egg salad and left the bowl on the counter.  Had major stress at work that week so didn't get around to dealing with it.  Then also that week the dishwasher leaked all over the floor and broke.  Was dealing with that and just didn't get around to the bowl.  Didn't get a repairperson out for another week, so I had to handwash all the other dishes and still didn't get around to the bowl.  Then a few more weeks go by and dealing with various stresses.  When I get stressed I put off things like that, it's a bad habit.  There was saran on top so it didn't smell until the last few days and I have a nook in the counter where I put it so it's completely out of the way.

Anyhow, my house is extremely neat and tidy (people always remark how incredibly clean and neat it always is).  The complete opposite of hoarder.  It's just things like this I do tend to put off when I get stressed by other things that come up.  [/quote]

Throw away the egg salad.  Scoop it out with a spoon into the trash.  Put the bowl in the sink and fill it with 1/4 cup chlorox and boiling water.  Rinse and make sure this potion covers the outside also.  Stick it in the dishwasher.   I have found dirty plates and food containers in odd places --left by college kids and friends.  Did not chlorox the dishes.   Never been a month though.  You're fine ...lots depends on how much space you have...I have lots of areas to investigate.[/quote]
