OK, this one is just for fun.  Marylaine Block, author of Neat New Stuff and ExLibris, created this presentation about the wilder side of librarians.  There are lots of links to back up her claims, and you might just get an idea for a program or display!

Be Food Safe November 14, 2007

Many thanks to Donna Foster for passing this along!

“The Be Food Safe campaign is designed to educate consumers about preventing foodborne illness through the four easy lessons of Clean, Separate, Cook and Chill.”  And just in time for the holidays, they have a guide to safely cooking a Thanksgiving meal.  (Which at my house is the same as a Christmas meal, so it should be good for many holiday dinners!)
