A friend of Amy’s from her PhD days at the I-was-there-when-Tom-Brady-was-there University of Michigan and her family came over last night for dinner.

They’d been on the road a long time, so I figured a U.S.-styled meal of steak and two veg would be welcomed.

It was.

After a day of cleaning and cooking – seriously, me and two other semi-house dads I hang with at the kid’s school should jump on the food porn train with all the shopping and cooking we do and the discussions we have about how to make a slow-cooked chicken curry while also talking about the shit guys say on mic’d up hockey – Amy went off with her friend and family and I got to write.

Yet only a couple of hours into the adventure, I get this from Amy:

We went to a place for lunch in Noosa. I was going to get a burger but read that “All our burgers are USDA certified organic and served medium-rare.”

Use a thermometer and stick it in.

Only way to tell if something is microbiologically safe.

And the prices are outrageous.

There’s so much shit out there.

Health authorities sanitized a Noosa cafe for five hours after an employee triggered a Hepatitis A alert.

Queensland Health is urging anyone who dined out or used the toilet at the Beach Chalet Shop at Sunrise Beach between October 10 and November 1 to see a doctor.

People can be vaccinated within two weeks of exposure to the virus to reduce the risk of developing Hepatitis A.

Despite the highly contagious nature of the disease, Beach Chalet Shop owner Ivan Mather said the whole thing had been blown out of proportion.

“This will blow over,” he said. “Because it is just ridiculous.”

Two days ago, Mr Mather said he was advised over the phone by a state nurse that the employee had contracted Hepatitis A.

The employee no longer works at the cafe.

Mr Mather said he voluntarily closed the shop.

“I want to make that clear. I did it voluntarily,” he said.

He said Noosa Council health department staff was satisfied the cafe could be re-opened for business.

“They were here for four to five hours, supervising and sanitizing,” he said.
