A wife was making breakfast of fried eggs for her husband, when he burst into the kitchen. "Careful", he said. CAREFUL! Put in some more butter. Oh WHAT ARE YOU DOING! You are cooking too may at once. TOO MANY! TURN THEM DOWN NOW! Are you CRAZY? USE THE SALT!!! THE SALT!!THE SALT NOW!!

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?" The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I am driving".

FOOD WARNING BACTERIA

Bacteria may be present on products when you purchase them. Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs are not sterile. Neither is fresh produce such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, and melons.

Foods, including safely cooked, ready-to-eat foods, can become cross contaminated with bacteria transferred from raw products, meat juices or other contaminated products, or from food handlers with poor personal hygiene.

Botulism, a life-threatening illness caused by the bacteria Clostridium outline, were reported in the United States. Frozen, fully cooked products were suspected of causing these illnesses. The Food Safety and Inspection Service advises all consumers to handle frozen, fully-cooked products in accordance with these food safety recommendations.

Before buying frozen, fully cooked products carefully inspect the container or package. If the package is punctured, torn, partially opened, or damaged in any other way that might expose the contents to the outside environment, do NOT purchase the product. Do not purchase frozen products that appear to have thawed and refrozen. Reject all swollen or gassy containers or spoiled foods.

Buy food from reputable dealers, with a known record of safe handling. Buy frozen products only if they are frozen solid and only if stored in the freezer case. Observe any use-by or sell-by dates on the package. When you open the container, inspect the product. Do not use products that are discoloured, mouldy, or have an off odour. Do not use products that spurt liquid or foam when the container is opened. Do not taste the product to determine if it is safe.

Follow the preparation instructions on the product label.

Handling Possibly Contaminated Products Report any suspect commercial food products to your local health department.

If a suspect food is opened in your kitchen, thoroughly scrub the can opener or other utensils, containers, counters, etc., that might have contacted the food or its container. Discard any sponges or cloths used in the cleanup. Wash your hands thoroughly. Promptly launder any clothing that might have been splattered upon.

Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin. Symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. The illness can cause paralysis, respiratory failure and death. Symptoms usually occur from 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.

Many frozen chicken products, such as chicken Kiev and chicken cordon bleu, may appear to be precooked, but are actually only prebreaded or prebrowned.

Use a meat thermometer and make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. . This means really cooking the chicken, in a regular oven or microwave, not merely thawing it.

NON- ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

ICED COFFEE

There are just as many ways of making coffee, as there are different brands. Here are some general rules.

For good results measure water and coffee.

- 2 tablespoons coffee to each 1 cup
- Make coffee just before serving
- Make coffee double strength and pour the hot coffee over ice in a tall glass. As the ice melts, it will dilute the coffee. Top the glass with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

HOT DRINKS FOR CHILDREN

1 cup sugar

2 cups water

1/8 teaspoon salt

¼ spoon vanilla.

Combine cocoa, sugar and salt

Add water and stir until well blended.

LIGHTSIDE

A man walking on a side street in Vancouver stumbled across an
old lamp. He picked it up, rubbed it, and out popped a genie.
The genie said, "OK, You released me but I am old, getting tired
Of granting 3 wishes.....you can only get one wish!"

The man said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I am to
scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a
bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"
The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!! Think of the
logistics of that! The supports, concrete, steel!! No, think of another wish.."

So the man said, "I have been married and divorced four times.
My wives always said that I don't care and that I am
insensitive. I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel
inside, and what they're thinking when they give me the silent
treatment. Know why they're crying, know what they really want when
they say "nothing", know how to make them truly happy."
The genie said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"

FOOD TIPS, INFORMATION

One of the best vegetables you can eat is a sweet potato. They are loaded with vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium and fibre. You can bake and then mix in crushed pineapple for sweetness.

Tomatoes are also packed with vitamin A, fibre.

Wild salmon is great for your health. Salmon that is caught wild has less PCB then farmed salmon. Salmon is high in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Smoking or pickling salmon reduces the amount by about 75%.

Conventionally grown produce is coated with tiny amounts of pesticide residues. Apples, bell peppers, cucumbers, Peaches, pears could be trapped under a layer of wax. For safety, more so with children and older persons, you should scrub them in a highly diluted solution of liquid dish detergent, which removes most of the pesticides and wax. Or you could peel it, especially apples, peaches, and pears. Organic produce should still be washed to remove other contaminants.

Beans are inexpensive, low in fat, rich in protein, iron, folic and fibre.

Bananas contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.

Take Note: The food and drug administration estimate that 1 in 20,000 eggs contain salmonella bacteria. Look for pasteurized eggs, which are flash-heated to destroy any bacteria. Persons with impaired immunity, pregnant women, infants, and older persons are at increased risk of severe complications. Other persons can decide for themselves whether the risk warrants giving up runny yolks or unpasteurised eggs, high risks persons should take those precautions.

POWER OUTAGES

"Power outages can occur at any time of the year and it often takes from a few hours to several days for electricity to be restored to residential areas," said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Richard Raymond. "Foods stored in freezers and refrigerators can become unsafe in just a few hours if bacteria begin to grow and if these foods are consumed, people can become very sick."

Steps to follow to prepare for a possible weather emergency:

Store food on shelves that will be safely out of the way of contaminated water in case of flooding.

Have coolers on hand to keep refrigerator food cold if the power will be out for more than four hours. Purchase or make ice cubes and store in the freezer for use in the refrigerator or in a cooler. Freeze gel packs ahead of time for use in coolers.

Group food together in the freezer - this helps the food stay cold longer.

Steps to follow after the weather emergency:

Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature.

The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the

temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full and the door remains closed.)

Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40° F or below.

Never taste a food to determine its safety!

Obtain dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for 2 days.

If the power has been out for several days, check the temperature of the freezer with an appliance thermometer or food thermometer. If the food still contains ice crystals or is at 40° F or below, the food is safe.

If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. If the food still contains ice crystals, the food is safe.

Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items after 4 hours without power.

Drink only bottled water if flooding has occurred.

Discard all food that came in contact with floodwaters including canned goods. Discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers.

Thoroughly wash all metal pans, ceramic dishes and utensils that came in contact with flood water with hot soapy water and sanitize by boiling them in clean water or by immersing them for 15 minutes in a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water.

When in Doubt, Throw it Out!

Fresh Fruit Punch

8 ounces apiece of orange juice, pineapple juice, and grapefruit
juice.

1 bottle ginger ale. Sugar to taste.

Combine the juices with the sugar. Stir until the sugar is
dissolved and refrigerate. Add the ginger ale plus chunks of ice before serving.
