Message from Brandon Roux: Is anybody else sick and tired of being sick and tired? I’m not sick, but many folks here at work are sick dealing with a virus, allergies, or some other bug. I’ve been dealing with this at home all week with both kids having to miss school and big band and choir concerts. Enough!
We had a great week on Local 4 News Today from a Tasty Tuesday in Rochester that taught us it really is OK to eat raw cookie dough. Well, Dino’s Cookie Dough bar uses treated flour and pasteurized eggs so, just eat theirs.
