Cynthia's Corner. Cynthia shares her Wisdom. (Among many others: Never play poker with a guy named Doc; Never eat at a place called "Mom's") http://chef2chef.net/features/cynthia/ -------------------------------------------------- The first thing I ever learned in the kitchen came from my mother, grandmothers, father...it was that important: Wash your hands before handling food. We take that for granted, don't we? Nowadays, in the cleanliness aspect of this one, we need to make sure cutting boards are scrubbed clean as well, to prevent contamination from meat and poultry. It is a good idea to have two cutting boards, one strictly for meat. The second best thing I ever learned was a technique. Place all the ingredients for whatever you are making on the left side of the bowl, food processor or pot. As you add each one to the dish you are making, place it on the right side. That way, if something or someone interrupts you, you will know that you already used those ingredients. This is extremely important for those with toddlers.
