Mike is notorious for bringing back in the pan he took the meat out to the grill with, rinsing it off and then wiping it with a paper towel and taking it back out to pick up the meat off the grill. It bugs me... I've commented on it... but in his defense we have yet to get sick... *here's hoping we can keep outrunning ecoli*Kelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-2312696117964929742012-04-30T11:48:47.069-04:002012-04-30T11:48:47.069-04:00UGH this is a hot button issue for me...I really t...UGH this is a hot button issue for me...I really think that speaking to a woman in her 30's (or at all, really) about her plans for children or getting pregnant in general, unless you know this person well, or they bring it up themselves is RUDE and INAPROPRIATE. I went to my SIL baby shower last month and was literally assaulted with questions about when do we want to start trying for kids, etc, etc. By people I DONT EVEN KNOW!! I wanted to ask them "what makes you think we arent trying right now? How do you know that we havent been trying for months or a year and maybe we were pregnant and lost it and you sit here and ask me such a PERSONAL and PRIVATE question like you are asking me where I plan on going for my next vacation!?!??!" It was unreal. If I want you to know what my plans are for kids, I WILL TELL YOU!!!! Its taboo to ask a woman her WEIGHT or her AGE or how much we make but people think its no big deal to comment about when we are gonna start popping out kids, like its any of their GD business!! <br /><br />Add facebook into the mix and its just ridiculous. I had 2 people OUTED on fb for being pregnant when they specifically werent telling everyone and those they told, they asked to keep it off fb, but some people just dont think. One of them had a stupid friend who added her to some group for "mommies with 2011 babies expecting in 2012!" I should point out that she wanted no one to know she was preggo because she has had complications and lost one before, and right now she is in jeopardy of losing this one and this friend made it public and now she is having people inundating her with congrats but she has to explain to them the painfull situation she is in. Its just awful and it makes me so angry!Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045244025231758215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-47647850914677078422012-04-28T02:00:53.141-04:002012-04-28T02:00:53.141-04:00Hugs!

That's an order, Capt!<br /><br />The truth of the matter is that we all need to stop making comments about other women's reproductive anything. It is so easy to say the wrong thing and hurt someone's feelings and it ain't any of our business. Congratulations are fine if someone tells you they are expecting, but short of that ... zip it up! (Your mouth, that is.)<br /><br />If you and Shana need bail money, let me know.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-62394373704631110862012-04-27T12:12:19.407-04:002012-04-27T12:12:19.407-04:00Thanks, Allyson!

Bacterial baddies thrive between 40 and 140 degrees F and by forgoing the soap and just patting your hands off on that towel, you're giving them a moist, room-temperature environment to sit and wait until they're transferred to the next thing that towel touches.<br /><br />Always use soap and hot water after handling raw meat. I don't have quite the issue with a dedicated hand-towel versus paper, personally, as long as you know where the towel's been. <br /><br />(so says the former chef who spent a month in Safety & Sanitation class as part of her degree)Jennifer Vanderbeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776524959729835580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-57430997831663690392012-04-27T09:48:46.832-04:002012-04-27T09:48:46.832-04:00Hamburger: wash your hands WITH SOAP! There's ...Hamburger: wash your hands WITH SOAP! There's a reason restaurant menus advise against ordering rare or undercooked meet including hamburgers. The USDA says it may contain "harmful bacteria". Taking that at surface value (and not getting into government agencies, the truths they sometimes don't tell you, and all that...) means wash your hands with soap. Bottom line: you are right. :-)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269907972205861943noreply@blogger.com
