Lightside
A man walking on a side road in Vancouver stumbled across an
old lamp. He picked it up, rubbed it, and out popped a genie.
The genie said, "Ok, You released me but I am old, getting tired
Of granting 3 wishes.....you can only get one wish!"
The man said, "I have all the time wanted to go to Hawaii, but I am to
scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a
bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"
The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!! Think of the
logistics of that! The supports, concrete, steel!! No, think of another wish.."
So the man said, "I have been married and divorced four times.
My wives all the time said that I don't care and that I am
insensitive. I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel
inside, and what they're mental when they give me the silent
treatment. Know why they're crying, know what they unmistakably want when
they say "nothing", know how to make them truly happy."
The genie said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"
Food Tips, Information
One of the best vegetables you can eat is a sweet potato. They are loaded with vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium and fibre. You can bake and then mix in crushed pineapple for sweetness.
Tomatoes are also packed with vitamin A, fibre.
Wild salmon is great for your health. Salmon that is caught wild has less Pcb then farmed salmon. Salmon is high in heart salutary omega-3 fatty acids. Smoking or pickling salmon reduces the number by about 75%.
Conventionally grown yield is coated with tiny amounts of pesticide residues. Apples, bell peppers, cucumbers, Peaches, pears could be trapped under a layer of wax. For safety, more so with children and older persons, you should scrub them in a very diluted solution of liquid dish detergent, which removes most of the pesticides and wax. Or you could peel it, especially apples, peaches, and pears. Organic yield should still be washed to remove other contaminants.
Beans are inexpensive, low in fat, rich in protein, iron, folic and fibre.
Bananas contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.
Take Note: The food and drug administration assessment that 1 in 20,000 eggs contain salmonella bacteria. Look for pasteurized eggs, which are flash-heated to destroy any bacteria. Persons with impaired immunity, pregnant women, infants, and older persons are at increased risk of severe complications. Other persons can rule for themselves either the risk warrants giving up runny yolks or unpasteurised eggs, high risks persons should take those precautions.
Power Outages
"Power outages can occur at any time of the year and it often takes from a few hours to any days for electricity to be restored to residential areas," said Usda Under Secretary for Food security Dr. Richard Raymond. "Foods stored in freezers and refrigerators can become unsafe in just a few hours if bacteria begin to grow and if these foods are consumed, habitancy can become very sick."
Steps to follow to get ready for a inherent weather emergency:
Store food on shelves that will be safely out of the way of contaminated water in case of flooding.
Have coolers on hand to keep refrigerator food cold if the power will be out for more than four hours. Buy or make ice cubes and store in the freezer for use in the refrigerator or in a cooler. Frost gel packs ahead of time for use in coolers.
Group food together in the freezer - this helps the food stay cold longer.
Steps to follow after the weather emergency:
Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors ended as much as inherent to claim the cold temperature.
The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the
temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full and the door remains closed.)
Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40° F or below.
Never taste a food to rule its safety!
Obtain dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as inherent if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for 2 days.
If the power has been out for any days, check the temperature of the freezer with an appliance thermometer or food thermometer. If the food still contains ice crystals or is at 40° F or below, the food is safe.
If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each holder of food to rule its safety. If the food still contains ice crystals, the food is safe.
Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items after 4 hours without power.
Drink only bottled water if flooding has occurred.
Discard all food that came in experience with floodwaters along with canned goods. Discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers.
Thoroughly wash all metal pans, ceramic dishes and utensils that came in experience with flood water with hot soapy water and sanitize by boiling them in clean water or by immersing them for 15 minutes in a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water.
When in Doubt, Throw it Out!
