Glenda, yes, of course.  Thank you for reminding me of this vital tidbit.

Kept warm doesn't just mean put on the corner nearby the stove.  Rewarming
doesn't mean making sure it ain't cold no more.

There is a "danger zone", and time factor involved.  The food must be kept
above 140F or below 40F.  Harmful bacterias are at their most comfortable
environment.  Warm, cozy, wet/damp, and food!  Yeowza.  You thought bunny
rabbits were bad?!?!  Food waiting between those two "mile posts" are good
for the garbage bin within 4 hours.  This includes the *handling* of it.

As Glenda points out, there many people with much more sensitive stomachs
than others.
