It certainly isn't fun, but it taught me that some practices are bad that I thought were okay.

April 11, 2021

One example of how this helped me learn, I used to think letting food thaw out on the counter was okay, but now I know that it is unsafe because the food is left in the temperature danger zone for longer than 4 hours and can get me sick.
