More food prep means more food safety basics; lunch ladies going gourmet

Posted: August 2nd, 2010 - 7:43pm

I was always more of a brown-bagger when it came to lunch. The high school cafeteria food was gross – although I did have a penchant for their ham and cheese melts on some sort of white wallpaper bun – but cost was the primary factor. Why would anyone pay for stuff that could be made at home for nothing when parental-types bought the food.

FLORIDA not inspecting food at hospitals, nursing homes

Posted: July 31st, 2010 - 9:35am

In a few weeks we’ll be leaving for a month of seaside (Gulf-side) writing in Florida.

As food safety dude and axman Roy Costa has pointed out, I sure hope I don’t end up in a Florida hospital, because no one is doing food inspections.
