LIGHTSIDE
A young man on his first day on the job as a waiter in a truck
stop café, has a large trucker sit down at the counter and order,
“ I will have 3 flat tires and a couple of headlights”.
 
Bewildered he goes to the kitchen and tells the cook, “I don’t
know what to do, this guy’s in the wrong place, look at what he
ordered!”

The cook replies, “ he wants3 pancakes and 2 eggs sunny side up”.

The waiter takes a bowl of beans to the trucker.  He looks at it
and growls, “What’s this? I didn’t order this!”

The waiter tells him, “The cook says that while you’re waiting
for your parts you might as well gas up!’

 

MORE FOOD INFORMATION

When I seen that food products had to be listed where they are from felt great, about time.  But I find this is not what I thought it is.  Picked up a package of frozen salmon. In big letters in the front it stated, WILD PACIFIC COAST CANADA SALMON.

When I got home and showed my wife, making note of the new packaging regulation, she turned the package over and in small print on the label was, “product of China”.  I can’t figure this out. Are the fish tagged now, and they took a long swim from the Pacific Coast of Canada and were caught in china?  Or did they catch a ride on a ship somehow? Can someone enlighten me please?

Or are packaging laws misleading?

Dates on canned and dried food is usually an indication of quality rather than safety; it’s there to tell you when flavour, texture or nutrition value begins to decrease. Food companies are not required to date their non-perishable products. When checking food, use your eyes, nose and common sense. If the container is damaged or rusty, throw it out.

Do not mess around with expiration dates on refrigerated items.

High-acid canned foods such as tomatoes, grapefruit and pineapple can be stored up to 18 months. The can linings might discolour, but as long as the can is in good shape, it’s probably safe to eat. Low-acid canned foods (meat, poultry, fish and most vegetables) will keep two to five years, as long as the can is in a cool, clean, dry place

 

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.

 

BAR MIXES

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk drivers cause many fatal road accidents.

It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a potential hazard.  Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as the brain, heart, and liver.

 

 

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.

 

ACAPULCO GOLD
3 ounces pineapple juice.
1-ounce concentrated grapefruit (undiluted) juice.
1-ounce coconut cream.
1-ounce fresh cream.
Shake with a large scoop of shaved ice, and serve in tall glass.
