I pulled another big piece of pork belly out of the freezer last night to start the bacon process. I was so tired last night that I forgot about it on the counter. It's probably not safe...right? It will be cured, smoked to 150* and then cooked in a fry pan before eaten. Anybody know if I should just throw it out or not?

Since this will be cured, smoked, then cooked throughout again, I wouldn't even give it a second thought. They make those short window rules for restaurants with kids, people who may have weak immune systems, and elderly people etc in mind. Plus, if you make 300 people sick, it's a lot different than making yourself sick. It's kind of like the speed limits on a windy road. They are made to be safe for 18 wheelers, not sports cars. You can safely navigate that road in a car at much higher speeds but they have to make it safe for everyone- if that makes sense at all.

that tends to be a big misconception about mayonnaise and dressings. Most salad dressing has a pH well under 4.0 (especially Italian since the vinegar is concentrated in the water phase) and a salt content where not much will live. Mayonnaise has a low pH and low water activity due to the high percentage of oil (near 80%) and is made with pasteurized eggs. Most often salad that makes people sick is cross contamination and double dippers mixing the wrong stuff in there.
The exception for dressing spoilage is dairy based dressings if they get contaminated with a lactobacillus which loves low pH and produces gas. The good news is that type of bacteria would not cause much reaction once it hits your stomach acid.
In this case I would believe it was the chicken - if a whole chicken maybe she didn't rinse out the cavity and then also cook to proper temp.
