It's Thanksgiving Day and if you are an old hat at fixing the bird for about one hundred relatives then you will get all 7 out of 7 questions correct on the Thanksgiving Safety Quiz. I'll admit that is was easy, but along the way I appreciated the reminder of good cooking habits.
I can't believe I am going to admit this, but one year I actually cooked my turkey upside down. It must have been an oddly shaped bird (that's my excuse) because I don't know how it happened. Maybe I'd been into the "spice" eggnog a bit too early, but there are many people out there who are daunted by the task of fixing this huge meal. After all, many of us only do so once a year and that means we probably need a refresher course. Each year many folks suffer from eating undercooked meat and get food poisoning which usually results from using the same cutting board for meat and veggies or some other mistake that can easily be avoided.
The Thanksgiving Safety Quiz mostly deals with safe turkey cooking habits and reminds us to use a thermometer to get the inside meat to the right temperature, but the writer "boutiqueshops" also includes links that advise us in keeping pets safe on this big food day. Turkey bones are not good for the dog!
Packing up the food and storing it correctly is another subject she covers in her quiz and in the write up. Although we might well be stuffed ourselves after the meal, all leftover food should be put away within a reasonable time, like before the football game!
Thanksgiving is more than just a time to eat more food than usual, but lets face it, the food is a big part of the day. I hope you will read this page early in the day as a reminder to make this year's Thanksgiving another safe one.
