FOOD INFORMATION, TIPS, During Storms.

Parts of USA and Canada have been hit with disaster, from fires in California to floods in British Columbia, snow and ice storms in eastern USA and Canada. Many will be dealing without power, flood houses.  Here is information to help you get through some of the problems.

NOTE: To prepare for a disaster go to my archives on my website, and read my article “Ring Of Fire”.The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) and the door remains closed.

Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses,

Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40°F or below when checked with a food thermometer.

Never taste a food to determine its safety!

Obtain dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for 2 days.

If the power has been out for several days, check the temperature of the freezer with an appliance thermometer. If the appliance thermometer reads 40°F or below, the food is safe to refreeze.

If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. If the food still contains ice crystals, the food is safe.

Discard any food that is not in a waterproof container if there is any chance that it has come into contact with flood water. Discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers.

Thoroughly wash all metal pans, ceramic dishes and utensils that came in contact with flood water with hot soapy water and sanitize by boiling them in clean water or by immersing them for 15 minutes in a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water.

SANITIZE CUTTING BOARDS

An effective way to sanitize cutting boards and other kitchen surfaces, is with a diluted bleach and water solution -- just 1 tablespoon unscented liquid chlorine bleach (not more) to 1 gallon of water.

To clean your cutting board, first wash it with hot water and soap. After rinsing it off with clean water, sanitize by letting the diluted chlorine bleach solution stand on the cutting board surface for about a minute. Rinse and blot dry with clean paper towels. It is important to clean and sanitize – just because a surface looks clean, does not mean it is free of disease-causing bacteria!

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING, BAR MIXES
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them
the risks of driving while intoxicated.  Statistics demonstrate
many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.

If you're having a party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.

2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a
075 reading.  One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2
bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after
drinking has stopped is 015.  A 200 pound person, after 1 drink
produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference
due to weight.

As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party
impaired.  Have some one drive them home.

Is there anything that can help my little brother?

My little brother is literally a six year old monster. When he gets mad he screams at people and says they're stupid, a loser, or calls them other names. He also punches and kicks people/things when he's mad. He also becomes really disobedient and won't listen to anyone. Is this just a behavioural issue, or could it be because he doesn't have a very good diet? (he pretty much only eats mushroom soup with the mushrooms strained out, hot-dogs, chicken noodle soup, yogurt, and chips) Is there anything that me and my parents can do to help him?

it has nothing to do with his diet. Try speaking to him about his behavior and how he needs to change. If he does as he's told, reward him; if not, punish him and take away what he likes. He should learn that things aren't always going to be his way and that he needs to respect people and their property. Try speaking to him calmly and try not to get him more angry than he already is.
Hope this helped.
