See, I have to have a childcare food handler's permit to operate in a childcare facility, for licensing (licensing is coming to inspect us tomorrow, and the old director lost all my paperwork, so I had to go re-take the class two months early, which would have made me cranky even if I liked the class.)

The rules of childcare food handling are pretty simple:

Wash EVERYTHING. Thoroughly. Including yourself.
Cook meat and meat-alikes. Thoroughly.
Cut stuff up small enough they can't choke on it.
Sanitize.
Don't spray chemicals around near the food, or store them where they can drip on food.
Keep dangerous stuff away from the children.
Keep track of allergies.


If you post a list of the required temperatures in the kitchen (and I've never been in a daycare kitchen that didn't), this class basically boils down to: use your common sense, duh.



Yet it's a two-hour class.


Yeah.

We spent, I think, an hour and a half listening to horror stories about food poisoning, death, diarrhea, little tiny animals that live in your intestines, and those people who store their oatmeal in the dirty mop-bin. And then took a test "together" on what we had "learned."

Also, this is my...fourth?...time in this class. With the same annoying lady and the same horror stories.



I missed two Chris classes (my favorite teacher) for this?


GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

As someone who has sat through Food Hygiene training herself before now, I feel your pain.
