I have to tell you about tonight...

[WalkInMyShoes]

Suspect dog and human saliva are equally chock full of bacteria, although urine is sterile. Hopefully the charbroiling killed most of those germs! Who knows where else that hand was though...

Any second now artist4perry will be calling for the brain bleach.

I hate people who do that kinda shit. Dogs are fuckin gross and dirty animals, I don't care how much you love or hate them, that's just fact. I don't ever think it's cute when a dog comes up and tries to lick my face all over the place, so I certainly wouldn't appreciate having dog drool all over my 1/4 lber with cheese either. What a fuckin choch you had to deal with tonight. Tell your wife to find some new friends

Are not - and the fact that he licked his own fingers grosses me out just as much! He probably took a pee and didn't wash his hands before he brought the burgers out too .

I agree with you. I have an 80 pound Chow, and he's my boy! I love that dog like I do a family member. BUT... he doesn't lick, he doesn't eat people food EVER, and he isn't dirty. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him. He's the sweetest dog I've ever seen!

And you're probably also right about the hand washing. I never saw it happen once! I am extremely picky about that, and I'll wash my hands 4 or 5 times while I cook! I do all the cooking in this house, and really enjoy it.

Jim if it were me I would said" hey a hole I'm not eating that shit I'm outta here" but then again that's just me as I'm kinda of a germ a phobe. Hope you don't get sick after that.

If it were someone I knew... I would have been on them like stink on shit! This guy is about a 110 pound weakling, and he's a very nice guy. I just don't know him, and I didn't want to hurt his feelings, or piss my wife off.

Like i said if it were me that's what I'd say. If you'd have to be in the dog house for a while that's the way it goes

110 pounds? No wonder the wife is tryin to ride you. Jesus.

Man code section 1(a) says you are entitled to hurt another man's feelings at your discretion. Let him have it next time.

Did you read the part where I said I was a cook, and am known for my BEEF brisket? I am known throughout all of our friends as a cook, and brisket and beef kabobs are two of the main things I am known for. Kinda hard to claim vegetarian when everyone knows this about me!

You got a barbeque sauce for that brisket you Southern culinary master ?

Ask Dan about my brisket! And he didn't even get it cooked my traditional way. I use a dry-rub that has about 12 ingredients, then I baste it every 20 to 30 minutes in a homemade mop sauce. The juice from the brisket gets poured over garlic mashed red potatoes with the skin on. I'm telling you... that stuff is HEAVEN!

Especially if her (the hostess, not your wife) hand is running up your thigh toward your gonads.

People don't realize they drive friends away with bad manners and cooking habits. I would not return either. Double blech! Recipe for that brisket please sir? I would like to try making some like your describing in the spring.

I voted for #3. Who cares if he gets offended - point out that you are offended at his grossness. I am a fanatic about washing my hands constantly while cooking/baking - like if I touched a door knob on a cabinet, I wash again...I don't ever lick the spoons and put them back into the sauce!

Damn... I would hope not! That's something that just grosses me the hell out. I think part of the reason I started cooking at such a young age (12 or 13) is because my Mom would NEVER wash her hands, then cook. She has long fingernails, and I think it was gross as HELL for her to cook without washing. I've almost developed a fetish about it now!

She came to visit a couple of years ago (we live 3000 miles apart), and she constantly offered to cook. I was like "NO mom... you're our guest and you're on vacation!". I didn't let her touch ANYTHING!

Ah, "supper"...that's what we always called it growing up in the midwest but living here on the west coast it is always dinner. Same thing with the word "pop" I had to stop saying that and change it to soda. Tonight I baked whole wheat bread - the old-fashioned way...yummy.

[tammy]

I think Julia Child licked the spoons! lol. One good thing about open kitchen floor plans...you can see what the cook is doing (although, can't see in restaurants and I totally have to NOT think about that!) Wonder how Howie Mandel handles that?

Not even close, human saliva is one of- if not the worst for infectious bacteria, dogs mouths are much cleaner in comparison. Human bites are more dangerous than most snake bites and can be lethal if not treated(If The skin is broken)

My wife is good friends with one of her ex co-workers, so we go to her and her husband's house for dinner. He's in the back yard cooking burgers, and every time he moves a burger he uses the spatula AND his left hand. After he moves all the burgers and they're all greasy, he bends down and lets his poodle lick ALL the grease off of his fingers (for probably 30 seconds).

You know where I'm going with this... He then continues to handle ALL of the burgers with that same hand. Not only that, but every other time he moves them (which he did CONSTANTLY), he licks those same fingers. That is the most disgusting fucking thing I've ever seen, and I had a hard time blocking it out when I was eating that shit!

So what do you do? I really don't even know the guy. Do you say "dude that's fucking NASTY!!!", or just be the polite husband and keep your mouth shut like I did? My wife had no clue about it until we left. DAMN!!!

Tell them your allergic to poodletongue...he should figure it out.

Did anyone see the episode of 'Seinfeld' where the father of Jerry's girlfriend makes a special pizza for them - after he uses the john, then runs his hands through his hair, and does not wash his hands afterward?

I would have brought the cook a napkin and said, "You know, the flames are probably killing any bacteria, but it's not safe to handle the food after you and the dog lick your fingers". If he got offended or continued to do it, I would just refuse to eat the burgers while wondering about everything else on the table. It sounds like it would be better if you had offended them - at least you wouldn't get invited back! Maybe he knows his wife is checking you out and doesn't want you to accept dinner invitations!

We have pets in our family too who are loved as family members, but I scrub my hands like a doctor before and while handling food! Lots of people will taste test the sauce or soup, etc. while cooking using the stir spoon which then gets dipped back in to stir - not in my house! I hate to tell you this, but in restaurant kitchens, they often check the temperature of sauces or soups by sticking in their finger and not necessarily right after washing their hands.
