My rule is only one can decorate. Give him a room to do as he likes and you take over the rest of the house. After all you are the one who cleans it I am sure.
Can I Use Meat That Was Left to Defrost on Counter?
No when this happens you can cook the meat then put it in the freezer for another time. It is a law of averages thing. Most of the time it might be alright but there is that chance someone will get sick. Never take a chance with food. There are enough problems...
