KITCHEN SAFETY TIPS

I was going through a cook book for today's sauce recipe and found these general safety kitchen tips that I wanted to pass along...............
#1. Keep poisonous cleaners in a separate cabinet and not under a sink. Even a locked cabinet can be opened by a curious child. You might have to store them above but it is worth the inconvenience.
#2. Don't fight a grease fire with water. Keep an all purpose fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Keep lid from pan handy when frying in oil. Any flare-ups can be smoother by the lid.
#3. Don't let knives or pots handles stick over the edge of a stove or counter top. They can easily be knocked over or pulled off by a child or adult. ( This one happened to a friend with a hot coffee pot and their child ) I know once our children move away we tend to forget these safety tips.
#4. If you cannot get control of any fire, immediately get out of the house! Your life and the life of others are always more important.
I know we all know these tips but it doesn't hurt to go through them again.
HAVE A GREAT AND SAFE DAY.................

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
