Golden Rules of
Food Safety
IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT! If you have any
question in your mind about the freshness or safety of eating a food product,
throw it out. It is better to be safe than sorry!
Picnic Safety Tips
There
is nothing more American than the picnic. Picnics can take on many forms,
such as the community picnic, friends and neighbors, tailgate parties, or
ball games. There is also one sure thing at every picnic-lots of good food.
The important point is to have safe and healthy food, not food that can
cause food borne illness. Always prepare and store food properly.
Summer
Safety Tips
Summer is the time for barbecues and picnics.
The biggest party crasher
at summer picnic and buffets is food borne bacteria. You can't see them
and
you can't taste them, but you sure can feel them if illness occurs
hours or days later.

Prime Rib / Standing Rib Roast Dinner
Seven-Course Dinner -
Menu and Recipes
|
First Course:
Creamy Bagna Cauda
Served with fresh raw vegetables of your choice
or
Goat Cheese Spread with Herbs and Olive Oil
Don't serve more than one (1)
appetizer, as you want your guests to have plenty of room for the rest of
your wonderful dinner.

|
Second
Course:
Shrimp
Cocktail
What could be easier and more
delightful than a shrimp cocktail to start off your meal?
|
|
Third Course:
Caesar Salad
My all-time favorite salad is the Caesar Salad. To many, including
myself, this is the King of salads.
|
|
|
|
Fourth Course:
Grapefruit Star
Anise Granita
This refreshing pink
grapefruit granita
is an ice with a
hint of spice.
 |
|
Fifth
Course:
Classic Prime
Rib
What could be better than a delicious prime rib roast?
|
|
Sixth
Course:
Cherries Jubilee
This is a very simple but impressive dessert to serve your guests.
|
|
|
|
Seventh
Course:
Cheese Boards, Cheese Plates, Cheese Platters
Entertaining frequently includes some kind of cheese tray, often
with fruit or vegetables or meat or a combination of these foods. If you are
short on time you can, of course, buy a fruit and cheese tray at most good
quality grocery stores or online. But if you have the time this is an
opportunity to be creative and introduce your guests to some new cheeses. It's
great fun!

Finale:
A good way to end a meal is with a (decaf) latte.
