I’ve always done the open stuff, where I put myself out there for criticism or praise or something else, 5 new chapters added, when people reminded me of things.
Anyone else wanna chip in?
Food safety is simple Powell
Just cook it Powell
BSE Bert
Cyclospora Ron (??)
Food safety programs ensure food safety Chapman
Training ensures safe food Mancini
Five-second rule Schaffner
Sprouts are a health food Powell
Cold-cuts should be served in aged care Powell
Cantaloupe is a health food Powell/Chapman
Labels are a meaningful way of communicating Celia/Powell
Katija always was the reasonable one, kept me and Chapman on track, especially during our 6 a.m. golf rounds, and was always there to make up for our silliness.
I implored her to do a PhD, but she resisted, and was comfortable with what she did.
Over the past 10 years, when I needed help to get a paper out the door, I would turn to Katija.
She’s seen life’s ups and downs, but has come out confident and better than ever.
Katija and Chapman have been with me for almost 20 years, each. Carol, who worked with me for a bit is also on for editing.
The book I’ve been working on has a tentative title of Food Safety Fairytales.
I was gonna write the whole thing myself, but then I realized my brain and body weren’t up to it, so I called in favors from my friends – sorta like The Band in the Last Waltz (not bad for a couple of Brantford-area boys).
And rather than keep it to ourselves, which is not my style, it will be public all the way (also a good way to hold certain people accountable, including myself).
The titles are all fairytales and will be destroyed by evidence.
But unlike what I told students, 60% content, 40% style, I want this to be 60% style 40 % content; I want it to be a best seller in airports.
Because every time I’m on a plane and someone asks what do I do, and I say food safety, they say, there was this one time, I barfed, and it was horrible. That led to barfblog.com in 2005, now it’s time to do something else.
Chapters, in no particular order:
Food safety is simple Powell
Just cook it Powell
BSE Bert
Cyclospora Ron
Food safety programs ensure food safety Chapman
Training ensures safe food Mancini
Five-second rule Schaffner
Sprouts are a health food Powell
Cold-cuts should be served in aged care Powell
Cantaloupe is a health food Powell/Chapman
Labels are a meaningful way of communicating Celia/Powell
Pasteurized products are safe Powell
I have a lot more, but would rather get one out and then think about the next one
Schaffner has also agreed, I didn’t ask Margaret, but had a good chat with her today, so now i’m formally asking.
The book will be peer reviewed, so everyone will get credit. It is made to be sold at airports. I was gonna write it myself, but figured out I needed a little help from my friends, and that it’s OK to ask for help.
That’s Katija and Ben, back in the day, when we would go golfing at 6:30 a.m.
