Dinner Blessings

The housewife invited 2 couple and their children for dinner one night. As they get ready to eat, the housewife asks her son, “Would you like to say blessings”?

“I don’t know what to say”, the boy replies.

 “Just say what you hear what your mother says”, replied the mother.

The boy bowed his head and said, “Lord, why on earth did I invite two 2 couples and their kids for dinner”?

BUY LOCAL

Where possible we should buy locally grown foods. As a rule your food is fresher, better flavor, picked within a day of your purchase. Local produce more likely has a higher nutrient content than store-bought produce that has spent time on a transport truck and warehouse. Further farmers who sell directly to local customers receive the full value for their product, can sell cheaper, as there is less cost to processing, transportation, packing, warehouse etc.

This is the time of the year for ice; snowstorms, (with power failure) floods and fire, depending on what part of the country you live.  Below are some helpful tips to keep your food and you safe.

Food Information When Power Out

Have Food on hand that don’t require refrigeration and can be eaten cold or heated on the outdoor grill.  Food boxed or canned milk, water, and canned goods should be part of a planned emergency food supply.  Also, ready-to-use baby formula for infants and pet food.

Always keep meat, poultry, fish, and eggs refrigerated at or below 40 °F and frozen food at or below 0 °F. This may be difficult when the power is out.  Coolers are a great help for keeping food cold if the power will be out for more than 4 hours.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. It is produced whenever you burn any fuel—such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal. Generators, pressure washers, other gasoline powered tools and charcoal grills give off high levels of CO. This can build up quickly in closed spaces or partially enclosed spaces—within minutes. Never use gas-powered tools inside—that includes your basement or garage.

Get a battery-powered CO detector to alert you to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home.

Please remember: you CAN NOT prevent build-up of carbon monoxide by using an exhaust fan—or opening your garage doors or windows. Again, never use gas-powered equipment inside.

Be alert to the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning! If you or anyone else in your home feels sick, dizzy or weak—Think carbon monoxide—CO! Get out of the house and seek prompt medical help.

FOOD EXPOSED TO FIRE- HEAT

Discard food that has been near a fire. Food exposed to fire can be damaged by the heat of the fire, smoke fumes, and chemicals used to fight the fire. Food in cans or jars may appear to be okay, but the heat from a fire can activate food spoilage bacteria. If the heat is extreme, the cans or jars themselves can split or rupture, rendering the food unsafe.

One of the most dangerous elements of a fire is sometimes not the fire itself, but toxic fumes released from burning materials. Discard any raw food or food in permeable packaging—cardboard, plastic wrap, screw-topped jars, bottles, etc.—stored outside the refrigerator.

Food stored in refrigerators or freezers can also become contaminated by fumes. The refrigerator seal isn't airtight and fumes can get inside. Chemicals used to fight the fire contain toxic materials and can contaminate food and cookware.

Food that is exposed to chemicals should be thrown away—the chemicals cannot be washed off the food. This includes food stored at room temperature, such as fruits and vegetables, as well as food stored in permeable containers like cardboard and screw-topped jars and bottles.

In Flood Zone?

If your location is in a possible flood zone plan your food storage on shelves that will be safely out of the way of contaminated water. Coolers are a great help for keeping food cold if the power will be out for more than 4 hours.

Discard any food that is not in a waterproof container if there is any chance that it has come into contact with floodwater. Food containers that are not waterproof include those with screw caps, snap lids, pull tops, and crimped caps. Also, discard cardboard juice/milk/baby formula boxes and home canned foods if they have come in contact with floodwater, because they cannot be effectively cleaned and sanitized.

Inspect canned foods and discard any food in damaged cans. Can damage is shown by swelling, leakage, punctures, holes, fractures, extensive thoroughly wash countertops with soap and water, using hot water if available. Rinse and then sanitize them by applying a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water (or the cleanest, clearest water available). Allow air-drying.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
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.

If you’re having a party provide food with your drinks.  You can also offer non-alcoholic such as fruit, soft drinks.

BAR MIXES

½ jigger Lillet.
½ jigger Sweet Vermouth.
