It's no joke.<br />A colleague got salmonella poisoning after eating a hotel meal and was so ill that he was in hospital for two weeks, off work for months, diabetic afterwards, the complications of which he died from at age fifty five.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-44769629018449918782017-05-30T12:24:08.007-07:002017-05-30T12:24:08.007-07:00Sound advice.

Why not just take your cooked food outside if you are living within reach of a stove? Yes, I knew it would take a few days to go away, and it has almost gone. The good guys won - this time.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-57656982254642358052017-05-30T12:21:23.357-07:002017-05-30T12:21:23.357-07:00The trick is to either cook it properly, or pre-co...The trick is to either cook it properly, or pre-cook it in an oven then scorch it over charcoal. I, personally, have no primeval hankering to use raw flame if I am right next to a good stove.

Chicken must be cooked with lots of patience, of which he has none, and time. He is not a patient man as bbq chef so much of the time the fowl must be cooked for longer -- and longer. Eventually with apologies for the burnt bits, dinner is served!

Never once tempted to buy a snack.
