I always tell people, if you weren't hoping to die, it wasn't food poisoning.<BR/><BR/>It is really scary how common sense most of it is. You do have to memorize the times and temps. But I had kids (under 20) in my class who just didn't get it. Like prepping raw chicken on the same board as the veggies. No no. And they are the ones working in the local restaurants! Scaaaaaary.<BR/><BR/>I do think I am safer at home more so now that I took the class. For example I use my thermometer much more often now. <BR/><BR/>Time to make some bread.Huff Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374300106877859626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596155496569335644.post-37046914827087379662008-12-04T09:50:00.000-05:002008-12-04T09:50:00.000-05:00Hurray for the consulting work! Every penny count...Hurray for the consulting work! Every penny counts in this day and age. And congrats on the passing score. I never studied a lick in school and had a 4.0. No challenge. Seems like you enjoy the "alchemy" of cooking and it's good to stay challenged. But please don't diss the food safety stuff. I agree it's mostly common sense which obviously many lack but I got a terrible case of food poisoning from a free sample over the summer and I wish the people who made that chicken salad had done it right! And it has caused me to be much more careful in my own kitchen!Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280379332301301014noreply@blogger.com
