Holiday food safety infosheets: Redux

My parents are coming to visit Raleigh next week – their first trek to the U.S. for Thanksgiving. Sure, Canada has its own festivities in October but there’s something different about the American celebration. A Thursday event, followed with three days of recovery and constant football has vaulted Thanksgiving to the top of my holiday list. Hopefully the food, sports and chasing around two little kids doesn’t kill my mom and dad; it might be too much excitement for them to handle.

In Rob Gordonesque-fashion, Doug and I came up with our top-5 tips for holiday food safety last week. To supplement the list we have updated the holiday food safety infosheets we’ve created over the past couple of years, they can be found below. Including the classic, turkey-head (see tip #2).
