Ratatouille

One of my classmates sent me this LA Public Health link to grade my kitchen.

"Your kitchen has received a "C" with a score of 78." Apparently, you're supposed to wash your hands after using the bathroom before resuming cooking.

I kid. But really, if I in all my anal retentiveness rerinsing everything, washing my hands every few mins, and completely avoiding cross contamination got a "C," what the heck does everyone else get??? :O

Just when you think things can't get any worse...
