(Perhaps they are reassured by my address label affixed to the plastic covering?) I know that not everyone can be trusted to provide you with edible gifts, but some replies here just seem waaaaay too snobby & I wish to point out that the chances of being poisoned or being fed adulterated food is extremely rare from a patient or "stranger" but a more popular scheme used by a spouse or family member. Albeit I am far from being "glamorous" & do not own a kitchen fit for publication in Country Homes & other medical office periodicals, I don't smoke while preparing food, nor in my kitchen EVER, always cook with my hair tied back & if I "need to knead" dough or other ingredients, I will wear gloves (it not only keeps the ingredients clean, but keeps my hands from smelling or being stained.) I hope my impression is wrong on those who struck a chord in me with their replies & if I am right, golly: I hope they get a nice pus-infused phlegm ball in their $45 organic, hand massaged Bibb lettuce salads (with just a splash of Balsamic vinegar & HOLD THE OIL!!!) to set things right. <br /> As for the more bizarro recipes used to make treats, such as those delivered to Dr. Grumpy & staff, I always wondered why people would make these sorts of things rather than the nominal shortbread, chocolate chip cookies & brownies, but perhaps it has to do with some patients being "guinea pigs" for medicines & treatments figuring they'd reciprocate by having you & other docs trying out the lime juice & lavender butter cookies & other odd concoctions...KC_the_professional_pt.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-89125012586430109832009-12-29T07:30:40.043-05:002009-12-29T07:30:40.043-05:00It's generally a good rule of thumb not to tou...It's generally a good rule of thumb not to touch any homemade treats in the break room unless you know exactly who brought it in.
