I can’t help it! Every November 5 I still get excited for fires, fireworks, roasted chestnuts, and hot chocolate. This is despite living in the US for 25 years! What’s this got to do with food or food safety? Food of course is part of the celebration. If we are celebrating anything and sharing food we have to be careful about how we prepare, cook, and store our food. This is even more true with the COVID-19 pandemic. What’s that? Wash your damn hands, wear a mask, keep your distance?! I hear you.
As I get ready to publish this I want to recognize that my friends and family in the UK are back in lockdown due to the second wave of Covid-19. Please stay safe and healthy.
I love hearing people’s food stories. Please share some of your holiday food memories in the comments.
