Re: Kitchen cyber inspection

I got a 100. (Really)

Alot of the stuff about keeping it clean and cold is a necessity in Arizona. Milk left out for 30 minutes at a room temp of 85 to 90 degrees makes it go bad FAST. I usually pour half a glass and put the container right back in the fridge. (No I don't drink it from the carton.) I like my steaks medium-well to well done. Same for chicken, turkey,pork and hamburger. I don't care for raw eggs but love well done French toast or eggs scrambled dry. (With just a little brown on them.)

My brother left the milk out overnight when we were kids and actually got up early to put it back in the fridge before I ate my cereal for breakfast. After mentioning that I was puking my guts up just an hour after breakfast he mentioned his deed.

I try to buy stuff in small quantities, keep it cold and use it up or I throw it out. (Especially milk.) I also wash my hands quite a bit as I work as a WAN administrator and touch all those keyboards all day long. I'll be danged if I'm going to eat with hands that have "gone" where all those hundreds of hands have gone all day.

Just lucky I like stuff well cooked or ice cold I guess. I do wonder if the American fascination with refrigerating everything is a bit of overkill. Surfing the web you see the outside markets in Europe, Asia and the other places around the globe with every type of meat hanging in mesh baskets at room temperature.

Does your kitchen make the grade?

I got "below C". Here's what I do wrong:

1. I don't clip my nails before I start cooking. (Who the hell does?)

2. The odd fly gets into the house.

3. My kitchen ceiling needs to be painted. (We're only partly finished
renovating.)

4. I thaw stuff on the counter occasionally. Been doing that all my
life.

5. I put hot leftovers in rubbermaid containers then directly in the
fridge, instead of cooling stuff down first.

I think the main reason I got such a bad grade was because I answered
truthfully that I had mice in my house. (They live in the ceiling over
the family room.) But I've never seen mice droppings anywhere,
especially not the kitchen.

Hell, I live in a 110-year-old farmhouse. *Everyone* around here has
mice.
