Greetings from a microbiologist (yep!): think of food safety this holiday!
- Cook/reheat foods until at least 160F
- Don't let your food sit out for hours on the table, it will reheat fine
- Use VERY CLEAN serving utensils and platters for your food (keep your hands and licks to your own portion)

In this next episode of me getting severely annoyed by youtube shorts this creator just stated you can identify gothic video games by them being set in a medieval setting or ruins, because the term "Gothic" is derived from the goths, so anything medieval is automatically gothic.
Seriously!!?
