Easter Egg Safety Tips

Health and Safety Watch wants to ensure that Canadians have a happy and healthy Easter holiday. The organization is reminding everyone that eggs must be stored, prepared and handled properly to prevent cross contamination, the growth of bacteria and food-borne illness. Many don't realize that due to their porous nature eggs are susceptable to bacteria like Salmonella. So, while the eggs you decorated may look good enough to eat, it is not safe to consume hard-boiled eggs left out at room temperature. HSW has outlined important steps to follow if you want to re-use them:
•Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds before and after handling any eggs.

•Clean and sanitize your work area before and after working with your Easter eggs. Clean food contact surfaces with warm water and a detergent. Rinse with water and sanitize using a bleach solution of 200 ppm (1 teaspoon of bleach / 1 litre of water).

•Cool hard boiled eggs after boiling by running cold water over the eggs and refrigerating them immediately.

•Use only clean, uncracked eggs.

•When colouring use non-toxic food grade dyes (liquid food colouring, fruit drink powders), and store eggs in a covered container.

•Refrigerate eggs at 4°C or less before and after dyeing. Eggs should never be left out at room temperature for longer than two hours if you intend to eat them.

•Coloured eggs can be safely refrigerated for one week.

•When hiding the eggs, keep them away from potential sources of contamination including pets, or dirty surfaces.

•Discard eggs that are visibly dirty, cracked or that have not been stored in the refrigerator within two hours.
HSW seeks to keep Canadians abreast of advisories, warnings and recalls, and also offers tips on what to do with recalled products, information on any illness or injuries reported, and general advice on a variety of health hazards.

Modern Zanzibar Cuisine

Modern Zanzibar Cuisine

Modern Zanzibar Cuisine

With his Comoran ancestry and culinary background in the Ã…land Islands, Finland, Sweden and Paris, chef Benn Haidari is excellently placed to tell the world about the exotic modern cookery now coming from the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, off Tanzania's Sawahil coast. Here you'll find starters, main dishes, seafood and desserts, plus a special section, as befits the Indian Ocean setting, on chutneys and kachumbar. Zanzibar dishes are far tastier than European ones, and they relate to Middle Eastern and Asian food in a way not found in the West

April is National Stress Awareness Month

April is National Stress Awareness Month and boy do we need it. According to the American Psychological Association (2010), a majority of Americans experience moderate or high levels of stress, but are "stymied in their efforts to make changes."


And although science is increasingly showing the benefits of meditation for stress relief, many people have trouble getting started or even finding time for it. And for someone who is already stressed, even the thought, "I should learn to meditate," can be stressful.

Martin Boroson, author of One-Moment Meditation: Stillness for People on the Go, has been quietly, radically changing the way we think about meditation - helping tens of thousands of people get started meditating and integrate it into their lives. His core message is that meditation doesn't have to take a lot of time - it only takes a moment.
