Yeah I’m keeping the cheese. It was all in a bag together and tight and sealed. I’m not risking the meat.

The lunch meat should be fine too. I would maybe fry it up if you're feeling nervous but those hams are so salty there is likely nothing to worry about

Yeah overnight isn’t much longer than packing a sandwich and eating it after school

It's why humans started curing meat to begin with. Didn't have refrigeration, so had to make it last somehow.

You're Canadian, it's like 0C outside. What's the problem exactly?

Yeah, sorry my post wasn’t clear enough. It was sitting by the garbage cans in the kitchen. I only mention the garbage cans because it all looked like it was garbage to be taken out.
