Last month, our Alaska Way of Life 4-H Club learned to locate, identify and safely process wild edibles with guidance from community members. Youth learned about edible plant species like fiddleheads, deer heart and licorice root fern, and saak (hooligan).

Check to see if your turkey is cooked in multiple spots. #Turkey #Thanksgiving #FoodSafety
Poultry, like turkey and chicken, must be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165ºF/74°C for safety. Check temperature in three spots. 1. Thickest part of the breast 2. Innermost part of the wing 3. Innermost part of the thigh

Replying to @alaskawx @uafairbanks @alasjules
Thanks for sending the data @AlaskaWx. Here are running 5, 10, 15, and 20 yr standard deviations of the data. The drop-off is quite abrupt. Do you have access to stn metadata? Did the station move or measuring tech change around 1964?

If pumpkin lattes are not your thing - this info actually works for any latte. #PSL #PumpkinLatte #Latte #Fall #Coffee #FoodSafety
It is safe to drink your pumpkin latte (or any latte) if it has been at room temperature for many hours. Fact.Holding black coffee is considered safe at room temperature all day.. When the milk used in lattes is pasteurized most of the disease causing pathogens are killed.
