Well, new years eve has passed and what did I do? *hehe* No seafood salad for me! I just didn't think it was worth the stress or worry - if it's iffy, then I'm not eating it! But thank you everyone for your input and hopefully this thread may answer someone else's questions in the future! There was plenty of other food to fill myself up on last night, so much so, my DH had to rollllll me out of there!
