Food Safety Talk 176: Bug Book

The show opens with a discussion about privacy, whether you should cover the microphone on your computer, or how you can scare your kids using Alexa. The guys talked briefly about what they're watching, Ben's trip to Athens Georgia, and celebrity feet. From there the show moves into listener feedback talking about the safety of eating Canadian seaweed. Listener feedback makes a interesting segue into failure, and the things we can learn from it. The show returns to listener feedback with a discussion about citrus safety and infused water. For some reason Don wants to talk about smoke detectors, before returning again to listener feedback and "Contamination Corner", and ways to learn about stuff you don't know about (like filibusters). Ben and Don talk about an interview that Don did for Cooking Light, before Don wants to talk about fixing his broken software. Ben ends the show with a long discussion regarding safe cooking directions for frozen vegetables, and why no one can agree. Show notes so you can follow along at home are below:

Food Safety Talk 174: No Borscht Collusion

The show starts with a discussion of Ben’s vocal fry, which leads to an interesting digression regarding fried fish. Ben follows up with a discussion about emptying his inbox and what sparks joy. This leads to a semi-deep dive on productivity before a short segment on television recommendations. Food safety talk begins with discussion about flour safety, which moves on to a viral video on leftover pasta safety tied to food poisoning incident from more than a decade ago. There is a discussion about the safety of fast food left out of temperature control for several hours before the guys move on to listener feedback. Listener feedback covers handling wedding leftovers, canning borscht, and the benefits using aseptic technique when pouring milk. Listener feedback is interrupted by more discussion of food safety in the news, and a recipe for overnight cooking, and crockpot safety. Ben discusses pet food safety, before returning to listener questions on the proper sanitary technique for disinfecting a spatula left behind the stove for a year, and confusing deli meat labels, before the show ends with a brief chat about microbiological risks from sinks and how they are spread.

The guys reflect on some of the food safety greats they've met in the past, before Ben provides his regular segment on Canadian cuisine. Don talks a little bit about a great idea for a food safety tool he was once given. In a different twist on food safety, the guys talk about copper toxicity, and the dangers of making foods with ingredients sourced from the Internet. The show wraps with some listener feedback on a variety of topics. In the After Dark the guys talk about books they are reading, Ben's new favorite band and Don's selection for the alphabetically listed 50 most quoted Rutgers experts in the news.
