There's a Chicken Flying in my Kitchen!!

I've learned a very important lesson this summer. Last week I bought a tray of chicken pieces which I put in the fridge, hoping to use it the next day. Three days later, I smelled an odour in the fridge and wondered if the chicken spoiled already. I took it out and sure enough, it was going "off".

I figured it was best to put it in the garbage inside the garage, rather than to leave it in the trash bin inside. Well!!! It might of been two days later, I went to put garbage in the bin in the garage and noticed 'rice' all on the outside of the bin. I'm thinking who didn't take the time to put the stale rice properly into the bin!?!? It wasn't rice, it was maggots!!

OMG!!! I was so entirely grossed out, I literally ran out the garage because I have a queasy stomach! There were so many maggots! I had asked my daughter's boyfriend to take the bin out the garage and put it by the curb, the maggots were falling like water pouring out a barrel. That's how many maggots there were! No exaggeration!

The chicken was rotting in the hot garage inside the heated bin and somehow maggots formed. I always thought flies had to lay eggs on the meat, the eggs hatch maggots, maggots feed on the meat and eventually create more flies! Here's the thing! I didn't open the package of meat, it was still sealed with the plastic wrap when I tossed it. How in the hell did flies get to it??!?! Or am I wrong?!?! Did the rotting meat create its own maggots??!?! EEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUU!!!



Makes me want to become vegan! NOT even vegetarian but vegan!!

Now there are flies all around the house (mostly outside)...one or two sneak in when the door is open but I'm like a fiend with my swatter...and I've got quick reflexes, still!! LOL They don't stand a chance. I hate flies!! Hate is a strong word and I mean every single letter...h.a.t.e flies!

Seriously, seriously, considering going meatless!!
