Food poisoning at a wedding!!!

Jaclyn and her husband got food poisoning from a self catered wedding and spent Christmas in the hospital. There's been quite a few stories on ww about it.

I've watched way too many people leave the bathroom without washing their hands to eat just anyone's food. And for events with large guestlists, there are just too many things that could go wrong if you aren't properly trained. Reason #43, I often travel with an emergency granola bar.

I hate it when people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. Makes me cringe.

The bathroom thing is the reason why we're having waiters serve people at our buffet line. You're not gonna put your piss hands on the tongs. Not at my celebration.

I have! At a self catered potluck.

@Keri, lmfao at "piss hands" ahahaha

I'm lucky I didn't get food poisoning for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in last summer. It was partially self catered and the food sat out in the hot sun. I shouldn't have eaten it but I was so hungry from not eating anything else that day.

I take food safety very seriously lol. I always buy new flour/sugar and other ingredients when I know I'm cooking for a family thing because I never know if FH licked his fingers then touched the lid or licked the spoon after tasting his coffee and then double dipped because his coffee needed more sugar... I have the "home use" containers full of ingredients, then in a separate place (usually where FH doesn't know about it...) I have the containers with ingredients I know haven't been contaminated and can be used when I make stuff that'll go to other people.

Wow, so much stuff I hadn't thought of before. Thanks for all the input. I take back all my thoughts of, "boy, they sure are sensitive to food poisoning on here", Lol, a good lesson to learn.

Lol, @ Sass, I hide things from FH(Adam) as well, but for totally different reasons

This will make your cringe, I went to a friend's BBQ and he used the same tongs to place the raw chicken on the grill and to get it back off. That was a time I went to taco bell afterwards.

Haha Grooms, I hide things from him just because I'm selfish sometimes so it's not all innocent!

On the opposite end of the scale, you have your great aunt Wilma rolling our pastry dough, but she just can't keep her darling kitties away from the counter.

Someone has a really good meme for this. Who was it? It had an image of someone making a huge potato salad directly in the sink, lol.

You never know.....Just for you Jacks lol

I got e.coli from a family birthday party once. The more people that are hosted at a party, the more likely mistakes will happen during food prep. In this occasion we think the lettuce for our salad wasn't rinsed all the way.

Lol, Ladies, I'm going to be scared to eat my friend's cooking. They're going to be looking at me and saying, "Why ain't you eating, Bitch I know you hungry."

Thanks, Beach dreams! I needed the dose of nausea. I'm on a diet.

Lord, and that guy in the picture looks like a friend of mine. Lol

LMAO @ "Bitch I know you hungry"

I feel slightly responsible for the ruination of the Grooms social life
