Onions left overnight source of Food Poisoning

Read for awareness

Useful information to share with you. Every body should read this...

I have used an onion which has been left in
the fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the
other half for later. Now with this info, I have changed my mind....will buy
smaller onions in the future...

Written by Zola Gorgon - author of several
cookbooks..

Watch out for those spoiled onions...

I had the wonderful privilege of touring
Mullins Food Products, makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and is owned
by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the
CEO..

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I
wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.


The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's
one of the bro thers. Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in
developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for
McDonald's.


Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz.
During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about
mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's
answer will surprise you.

Ed said that all commercially-made Mayo is
completely safe..

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No
harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained
that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive
in that environment. He then talked about the quint essential picnic, with
the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the
mayonnaise when someone gets sick.


Ed says that when food poisoning is reported,
the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last
ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says
it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in
the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the
POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked
onions.

You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. He says it's
not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your
refrigerator.

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit,
that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you
put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll
probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your
sandwich, you're asking for trouble.

Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and
grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break
down.

So, how's that for news? Take it for what you
will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on.

For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a
company, that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolise onions.

喜欢一个人与爱一人,爱一人的却不容易。

你能分清楚爱和喜欢吗?

喜歡咫尺千里。

當你
喜歡一個人時,你想和他在一起,因為他會帶給你快樂;

離開後,你會想念,想著想著就會笑,然後繼續你平靜的生活,並期待著與他再一次重逢。

當你
一個人時,你想和他在一起,那是一種牽腸掛肚的捨不得,怕他受委屈,怕他不能好好照顧自己;

離開後,你也會想念,想著想著歎一口氣,'不知他現在過的怎樣?'

然後你繼續你平靜的生活,希望他早日回到你身邊。

喜歡的人在你眼中是天使,無所不能,他總會滿足你的任性的要求。

的人在你眼中是孩子,傻傻的,你不期望他做出什麼'好事',只一味縱容他那些讓人哭笑不得的舉動。

你會希望你
喜歡的人陪著你,然而你心中想的可能是你愛的人;

你會希望陪在你
的人身邊,看他在你面前睡得如此安逸甜美毫不設防的樣子,你會微笑,會覺得好幸福。

喜歡的人傷害了你,你會生氣,並且一定要讓他哄著騙著逗你笑你才原諒他;

的人傷害了你,你只會獨自傷心,因為你怕對他大吼大叫會嚇著他,你憂傷地微笑著,看著他的眼睛,

一旦發現他的眼裡流露出歉意和悔恨,你會立即心疼地摟他在懷裡,那一刻,你也是幸福的。

你可以同時
喜歡很多人,你會希望和很多人在一起,

但也許很多年後你才發現,原來你
的就只有那麼一個,

就那麼一個,怎麼都不會變,你以為把他忘記了,其實只是忙的沒空想起而已,

對於你
喜歡的人,你關注的是他的優點;

對於你
的人,你關注的是他的缺點,並且,那些缺點如果無關原則的話,它們在你眼裡是可愛的,獨一無二的。

喜歡其實只有一紙之隔,任何都從喜歡開始,當有天你突然發現,你喜歡的那個人在你眼中不再完美,

而他的瑕疵正如月中的桂影一般讓你更加依依不捨,你會覺得與他光彩照人的一面相比,

你更願意看他在你面前無助的表情,不知道是不是應該祝賀你,總之,你的感情昇華了

——

仰慕不是,甚至不是喜歡,當你對一個人只有仰慕之情時,你們在一起便失去了和諧。

有人說
一個人很累,的確是,因為你想為他承擔,可是喜歡比最大的魅力就在於,

當你和
的人在一起時,你的感覺就像回家了!

NEVER LIGHT CANDLE in AIR-CON. ROOM

For those who sleep in the air-cond room ..........
A friend of mine has passed away recently,
Please read the mail below and be careful.

Heard of a b ad news regarding Charleine, who
studied in MSMKL with some of us. She passed
away last weekend due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

It happened when she lighted an aromatheraputic
candle for the night in a room with air-conditioning
on and all windows closed.

Due to lack of oxygen
in the room, the burning of the
candle cannot fully oxidized &am p; thus forming dangerous
carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the
lungs, resulting the person dozing off to state of
unconsciousness & eventually death in less than 1 hour,
depending on the room size. I am sending this e-mail
out to all of you so that you will be aware of such
danger when lighting aromatheraputic candles in any
unventilated rooms.

I love you, darling!

真是不容易的情懷

一名署名約翰衛斯理的人寫了這樣一個故事。

一對夫婦在婚後十一年生了一個男孩,

夫妻恩愛,男孩自然是二人的寶。

男孩兩歲的某一天,丈夫在出門上班之際,

看到桌上有一藥瓶打開了,不過因為趕時間,

他只揚聲妻子把藥瓶收好,然後就關上門上班去。

妻子在廚房忙得團團轉,就忘了丈夫的叮囑。

男孩拿藥瓶,覺得好奇、又被藥水的顏色所吸引,

於是一飲而盡。

藥水成份厲害,即使成人服用也只能用少量。

男孩ODOverdose服藥過量),被送到醫院後,返魂乏術。

妻子被事實嚇呆了,不知如何面對丈夫。

緊張的父親趕到醫院,

得知噩耗非常傷心,看兒子的屍體,

望了妻子一眼,然後說了四個字。

作者叫讀者猜,

這丈夫說了四個甚麼字?


答案是:

I love you, darling!

這反應是 Proactive (即反過來控制局面,而不被局面控制)。

作者亦盛讚這丈夫是人類關係的天才,因為兒子的死已成事實,

再吵再罵也不會改變事實,只惹來更多的傷心,

而且不只自己失去兒子,妻子也失去兒子。

這故事,彰顯人類選擇的自我層次

同一件不幸事你可以怨天尤人,痛罵社會,甚至自責無窮,

但事情卻不因這些而改變,這一切只改變了你和日後的生活,

負著疤痕的活下去。

反之,放下怨恨和懼怕,放下過去,勇敢的活下去,

事情的境況原來並不如想像中壞,這就是作者所說的

Proactive Behavior

也就是我們所說的由人轉境 ,而不是被外界事物牽著走


很簡短的故事,但是,有多少人能做到呢?

當我看到那句

' I love you, darling! '

的時候,心中感概萬千......


多麼簡單的一句話,但要有多久的修練,

多大的包容,多深的人生智慧,才能在那種時刻

說出如此令人動容的一句話。

每個人都有不想讓人所知的不幸事,自己選擇了什麼方式去面對,

又怎麼去面對未來,以及週邊的人事物...

與你分享

也祝福順心喜樂!


1.遇到你真的愛的人時努力爭取和他相伴一生的機會! 因為當他離去時.一切都來不及了....

2.遇到可相信的朋友時要好好和他相處下去因為在人的一生中.可遇到知己真的不易

3.遇到人生中的貴人時要記得好好感激因為他是你人生的轉折點

4.遇到曾經愛過的人時記得微笑向他感激因為他是讓你更懂愛的人

5.遇到曾經恨過的人時要微笑向他打招呼因為他讓你更加堅強

6.遇到曾經背叛你的人時要跟他好好聊一聊因為若不是他今天你不會懂這世界

7.遇到曾經偷偷喜歡的人時要祝他幸福唷!因為你喜歡他時.不是希望他幸福快樂嗎?

8.遇到匆匆離開你人生的人時要謝謝他走過你的人生因為他是你精采回憶的一部分

9.遇到曾經和你有誤會的人時要趁現在澄清誤會因為你可能只有這一次機會解釋清楚

10.遇到現在的伴侶要百分百感謝他愛你因為你們現在都得到幸福和真愛

water overdose...........?

心臟病發作與喝溫開水


The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
中國人和日本人吃飯的時候喝熱茶,而不是喝冰開水,我們應該學習中國人和日本人的飲食習慣。

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
吃過飯之後喝一杯冰冷的飲料的確很舒服,然而,冷開水會使你剛剛吃下肚的油膩膩的食物凝結在一起,而且會使胃腸的消化作用變慢,一旦這一大坨像爛泥的東西碰到胃酸,就會分解而很快地被腸子吸引,它會附著在腸壁上,沒多久它就會變成脂肪,而導致癌症,所以說,吃過飯之後最好還是喝一碗熱湯或一杯溫開水。
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...

心臟病發作的一般徵兆
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line .
請你特別注意:並不是所有心臟病發作的時候都會左臂疼痛,你倒是要留意你頸項的劇烈疼痛。
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
心臟病發作的時候不一定會胸口疼痛,而噁心和猛烈的盜汗才是心臟病發作時常見的徵候,有60%的心臟病在睡夢中發作而患者因此一覺不醒,頸項疼痛常常會把你從熟睡中醒過來,所以要特別小心,我們懂得越多,活命的機會就越大。
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & send to a friend.
一位心臟病專科醫生說,如果每一個讀到這個資訊的人都把它轉寄給十個朋友,至少可以救活一個人,所以,請你仔細閱讀並且把它轉寄給你的朋友!

相遇,不是用來生氣的!

○ο。°相遇不是用來生氣的°。ο○


前日往回家的公車上,

一對上班族男女吸引了我的目光,


而他們的一段對話,更讓人難忘。

每天搭乘公車上下班,來回通勤時間約莫近二小時,

有時人少,可坐在位置上欣賞窗外的風景;

人多時,也只能慢慢地擠回家,


但這時,身邊乘客的對話總會不時地傳到耳邊。

前日往回家的公車上,轉程靠站時,乘客頓時多了起來。

一對上班族男女恰巧在我身邊,吸引了我的目光。


可能因為人多,男的不時地將手臂圍住女的,

並輕聲的問「累不累?」

「待會想吃些什麼?」

只見女的不耐煩地回答

「我已經夠煩了,吃什麼都還不先決定,每次都要問我。」

男的一臉無辜的低下頭,而後說了令我印象深刻的話。


「讓妳決定是因為希望能夠陪妳吃妳喜歡的東西,

然後看到妳滿足的笑容,

把今天工作的不愉快暫時忘掉。

我的能力不足,

妳工作上所受的委屈我沒法幫妳,


我所能做的也只有這樣。」

女的聽了後,滿懷愧疚的說聲對不起。

男的這才似乎重燃信心般說:

「沒關係,只要你開心就好。」

而後親吻了女的頭髮。


下車前再回頭看看這對情侶,

男的依舊保護著心愛的人。




這樣的情景,

讓我覺得自己今天同樣在工作上有些許不愉快,

如果沒有聽到這一段對話,回家後的我,

可能也是一副全世界都對不起我的臭臉面對心愛的人,

只在乎自己的委屈,

卻忽視對方的感受,

不自覺地傷害最親密的人。


所以在踏進家門時,我問自己,

難道我要像公車上那位女孩一樣忍心

將自己的不滿委屈帶給身旁的人嗎?

不,我想我現在應該做的是...

別再把工作上的情緒發洩在心愛的人身上,

破壞了最親密的關係,

並且主動給自己一個微笑。


相遇,不是用來生氣的!說得真好!

當自己快抓不住情緒時,想想這句話,


應該會讓煩忙的生活,加些微笑的因子吧!

同樣地,在日常生活中,我們牽掛得太多,


我們太在意得失,所以我們的情緒起伏,

我們不快樂。在生氣之際,我們如能多想想︰

「我不是為了生氣而工作的。」

「我不是為了生氣而教書的。」


「我不是為了生氣而交朋友的。」

「我不是為了生氣而作夫妻的。」

「我不是為了生氣而生兒育女的。」

那麼我們會為我們煩惱的心情闢出另一番安詳



看完之後…

當你和朋友..家人爭執時…

要記得你們的相遇…

不是用來生氣的喔…



...人非聖賢...

誰能不生氣呢…

看了這篇文章以後…

記得.....下次要生氣時…


就別生太久…

免得傷心、傷肝、傷腎又傷腸胃…
