The barfblog.com editorial team had its annual meeting on Anna Maria Island in Florida this week where we spent long days strategically stratergizing future food safety strategies. We also had a strategic shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) think session.

But it wasn’t all work as our families joined us for sunset on the Gulf.

Happy Yule Day on this, the winter solstice, welcoming the return of the sun, with much merrymaking and debauchery, drinking, eating and sacrifice.

Chapman left before we could throw him in the pit at sunset tonight.

Alban Arthan to all.
