This is an advisory regarding the handling handling of perishable food products during during the hot summer months. In particular, particular, I am thinking of fresh dairy products such as fluid milk, yogurt and also ice cream. That trip between the supermarket and your home can be a real challenge for such foods if they are to maintain their shelf life and original quality. The effect of temperature on fluid, milk is such that at 15 degrees Celsius (60F). the ex pected shelf life of the product is reduced reduced to ONE DAY whereas at 4 degrees degrees Celsius it is expected to maintain freshness for at least TEN DAYS. Ice cream presents a real challenge because if it has started to melt when we get it home to our freezer, the tendency will be for it to become coarse and icy after it refreezes. refreezes. What a fate for a real treat on those hot summer days. THE ANSWER: If possible, take along the family picnic cooler on that hot summer day shopping trip. Ask that all perishable foods (meat, dairy and frozen foods) be put together so that they can be placed in the cooler and enjoy each other's cool company for the trip home. Keeping fluid milk out of bright sunlight also protects the clean, fresh flavour. When the car is 102 degrees as you load the groceries, groceries, you know that it is "cooler" weather. WE MAKE A GREAT IMPRESSION Handlina It * y JPF By Lloyd Scott ■ ■ ■ On Tears and Crying, 2 Tears may make us uncomfortable because, as we all know, they're a handy tool for emotional blackmail. Some people can cry at will. Because ' crying is a good way to inflict guilt and other forms of punishment for perceived slights, it can be an effective effective emotional ambush for the unwary. unwary. It's hard to confidently distinguish between real and fake crying. A tear is still a tear. A sad expression is still a sad expression. So how do you call someone's bluff if your hunch tells you that they're manipulating you with their tears? If you're wrong, you'll be guilty of insensitivity, even cruelty. Whether you're right or wrong in your interpretation of another another person's tears, you may be met with denial anyway. "Are you sad?" "No. I'm fine." Only time can mm doubt and suspicion suspicion into certainty, when it comes to someone else's tears. We're misled misled far more often into mistakenly thinking people are fine by the absence absence of tears, than we are into mistakenly mistakenly thinking that they're in distress by the presence of tears. Tears make us uncomfortable because because we're supposed to be up and cheerful, at least in appearance. This is an important unwritten rule. The words spoken to a tearful person, person, "There, there," "Don't cry," "You'll be all right," are part of the language used to enforce that rule. Such words seldom provide much comfort to someone in tears. "Don't wony (don't cry), be happy," has the opposite effect of forcing people to falsify their emotions in order to comply with the rule. I've occasionally felt an urge to cry at weddings, especially those of people close to me, something I've put down to sentimentality. The music, music, certain spoken words, the solemn mood - all combine to call up tears. Perhaps at those moments, I'm feeling feeling some concern as a marriage counsellor counsellor that this marriage, like so many others, may not succeed. Another kind of crying is that of feeling unworthy, the tears of shame. Something as simple as receiving congratulations, compliments or gifts may evoke tears of surprise, disbelief and an uncomfortable feeling of, "Who, me?" Adults abused as children arc likely likely to have considerable reservoirs of hurt, anger and shame, feelings which may, in time, generate a lot of healing tears. Recently, I watched part of a television documentary on the history of church and government-run government-run residential schools for native native Indian children who had been tragically separated from their families families and communities to attend white schools. Their lifetime sadness and pain, remembered and described years later in adult life, struck me very deeply, as I'm sure they did other other viewers. Our tears of grief may join readily with theirs in shared mourning for such a cruel loss. One explanation for suppressing our tears is that we often don't know where they're coming from. It's easier easier and more permissible to cry if the reason is clear. Yet some tears are a language too deep for understanding, just as some feelings may themselves be too deep for tears.
