Germs and cooking are like a married couple, always close. germs really love
the kitchen, especially sponges, kitchen towels and sinks. You can disinfect all three by soaking sponges and dish towels for 5 to 10 minutes in the sink in a solution of ¾ cup Clorax Regular Bleach and a gallon of water. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry.

You can use the same solution to sanitize food spills, refrigeration, door handles.

Touching surfaces that have germs on them, like faucets, can spread bacteria,
cutting boards, tables, phones, light switches, anything touched by humans, animals.

A man drives down a narrow mountain road. A woman is driving by the same
path. As they pass each other, the woman leans out the window and yells, “PIG!”

The man leans out the window and yells, “STUPID!”

Keep going up the mountain, round a corner and break your
