Cooking and eating lots of food.  It serves as a theme for the Thanksgiving holiday.  But remember to do it safely.

Chris Bernstein is a food safety educator with USDA.  He says food safety starts in the preparation.

If you’re going to stuff you’re bird to cook it, Bernstein says be aware of the proper temperature throughout your bird.

And Bernstein has some leftover notes, especially if you’re food is traveling with you.
