Staphylococcus Aureus

Hey again today I will be talking about a bacteria/infection named “staphylococcus aureus”. Now before I tell you what the bacteria/infection is I will tell you were you can get the bacteria from. You can get it in foods with high protein, custards, cream filled backed goods, ham, poultry and meat products, potato and other salads. The bacteria/infection staphylococcus can cause many diseases. There are over 30 different types of staphylococcus infect humans. Anyone can get the staphylococcus infection, although there are certain people who are more at risk of getting the infection. Those people are newborns, breastfeeding women and people who have diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, and lung disease. The symptoms of the infection are severe nausea, vomiting, cramps, sometimes diarrhoea, prostration. There is no vaccine for the infection because it causes so many different diseases. If there is a minor skin infection, staphylococcus infection can sometimes be diagnosed by looking at the skin infection. If it is a serious infection, the doctors must do some special test in there lab. To treat the infection there is a special antibiotic that you put in your mouth. The symptoms may last 1 - 8 h but usually 2 – 4 hours. I took my information from a book and the website www.medicinenet.com/staph_infection/article.htm

Salmonella Poisoning

Hey again it’s me. In my next few blogs I will be talking about food poisoning and bacteria. For today’s subject I will be talking about the most heard of bacteria. Did you know that salmonella is a bacteria? Well it is. Salmonella can sometimes be found in products such as eggs, chicken, unprocessed milk, meat and water. There are also some pets that contain the bacteria of salmonella. They are turtles and birds. What kind of infection does salmonella cause? Salmonella attacks the stomach and intestines. In some cases, the bacteria may enter the veins that carry water and protein to the blood, and of course blood. Salmonella attacks all age groups and both sexes. Children, the elderly and people who are already sick are much more likely to get a serious infection. What are the symptoms of salmonella poisoning? Some of the symptoms are diarrheoa or constipation, headaches, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, fever, possibly blood in the faeces. When should you contact a doctor? If the patient has diarrhoea for more than 24 hours, if it is frequent and intense, if the patient has severe stomach cramps, if there is blood in the faeces and if the patient has fever of 38oC or higher and dehydration. To make sure that you do not get salmonella poisoing make sure that your food is cooked thoroughly. All of the facts that are in this text are based on a text by Christel Bech, nurse.

Banana Bread!!!

Hey it’s me again just wanted to tell you guys about the time that I made banana bread. Now not a lot of people like banana bread because some people put raisins or nuts or other nasty junk like that but I assure you that my banana bread has nothing but bananas and love. This tasty dessert was actually my first recipe that I learned how to do it on my own. It started out that are bananas were about to be thrown out, but I asked my mom if I could make some banana bread. She said sure as long as you clean up your mess. So I started with my almost rotten bananas (that’s when bananas are at their best for banana bread) and some sugar and butter and whatever else is in the recipe and started to mix the dry ingredients with the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients with the wet ingredients. Then I mixed it all the ingredients together. After it was all mixed, I put it in a pan to put in the oven at 350°F. After it was finished cooking, I made a special sauce that goes fantastic for the banana bread, you need to put the sauce on when the banana bread is still warm and poke holes in the bread so that the sauce will go in the bread. My pants are full of drool. Well have a yummy day!

My Meatloaf

Hey readers, today I’m going to tell you about the first time I made meatloaf. It was about 5:30; time to start dinner. My family was on their way home at the time and my mom called me up and said “Nick when I get home dinner better be on the table or at least in the oven”. My mother suggested that if there is nothing in the house to make, there is a pound of ground beef in the fridge and to make meatloaf. So I went on my computer searching for a recipe like always and found a really good and simple meatloaf recipe. After I got the recipe, I took the ground beef out of a bag and plopped it in to a bowl. I started by adding hunts ketchup, a half of an onion and two eggs. When I started to mix it all up it felt like I was mixing brains. Ewwwww….. So I put the final touches on the meatloaf and put it in a different bowl and threw it in the oven. It’s about 6:05 now and my parents came home and it needed to be in the oven for about another half hour. When it was done it tasted very good but I guess I forgot a very important ingredient and that ingredient was breadcrumbs. So I can’t even imagine how good the meatloaf would taste if I put that ingredient in the meatloaf. Have a yummy day!

My Calzone

Hey guys here with my fifth official blog. Im here to tell you about my experience with my very own calzone. It was during the summer, it was a very sunny day, and I had my friend over, we chilled all day together. So my mom tells me there’s nothing to make and where not going to McDonald’s or any other fast food. I love McDonald’s. So I suggested to my mom that we should have pizza but my friend looks at me and says we should have calzones, at the time I thought that he was a genius cause I love calzones cause there like huge pizza pockets. (Boy im hungry now!) Im pretty sure your hungry now too. So my mom agreed that we would make calzones in the oven. She told us to go and so ingredients in the fridge, for the inside of the calzone. I found some hot dogs, kabassa and some mozzarella cheese and other meat and cheeses. I was amazed of all the stuff I found in the fridge. What would you put in your calzone? Later after I took all are calzones out of the oven, we all looked at are calzones and said were not eating this. So I got to go McDonald’s. Yay me. Have a Yummy day.

Jello popcorn

Hey guys this is blog number six. Today I will be talking about jello popcorn, sounds a little weird though but imagine plain popcorn with a drizzle of jello liquid of any flavour they make, that hardens on the popcorn. You get popcorn covered in jello, which creates the best tasting popcorn you ever had in your life. This is the story of how my brother and I found the recipe. Have you ever tried the rainbow cookies from Mr. Christie? Well my brother and I had just finished a box but we were still hungry. At the time we were also in a phase of popcorn so my brother suggested to go find a recipe for rainbow popcorn. So I did and I printed out a recipe for rainbow popcorn, little did I know that that the rainbow part was jello. So my brother took the recipe I found and we got all the ingredients to make the jello popcorn. So my brother and I made the jello popcorn and it was the best popcorn we ever made or will ever make in our lives. This blog makes me want to go make some jello popcorn, boy my mouth is watering! How about you? Have a yummy day:)

Cooking salmon in the dishwasher

Hey guys, today I am going to comment on a video that I found on youtube, it’s how to make salmon in the dishwasher which I found really cool because you can clean your dishes and cook your food at the same time in the same place. I myself have never tried this, but in the future I know that I will try this. The reason I haven’t tried this yet is because my mom is afraid that the bag will open and that her all her dishes will smell like fish and that there will be a huge mess in her dishwasher. I hope you will try this at home. Do you think your mom would let you try that? Although her recipe doesn’t appear to be appetizing I’m sure that there are better recipes than that, because when I make salmon my family gets it fresh from the groceries store like Zehrs or Cosco. The person in the video took it out of a bag and the salmon didn’t even look good when she put it in the dish washer. So make sure that your salmon is always fresh, and in my opinion cook it the real way in the oven. Have a yummy day:)

Deep fried ice cream

Hey guys welcome to my third official blog. I am on week two of my weekly post as I said before I will be doing two blogs a week and one comment. My experience with deep fried ice cream was very fun. It was the summer time about mid August, I had printed a recipe for deep fried ice cream because I remembered a restaurant named donna maria’s a very good Mexican restaurant that had for a dessert well you guessed it deep fried ice cream. So me and my brother had to prepare the ingredients for the recipe, there was cinnamon and a lot of other very good ingredients. Make sure you have clean hands when you make the little balls of ice cream and when dunk them in the ingredients. Make sure that your balls of ice cream are big because when you dip them with the ingredients and there small you wont get the taste of ice cream you`ll get a taste of a deep cinnamon and the other ingredients. Trust me I’ve made that mistake, im not saying don’t try that but it is a lot better when the ice cream balls are big. I will post the recipe when I have the time to type it and find it. Have a yummy day:)
