The Mystery of the Cookie Dough Recall

OK, pistachios  is one thing, but cookie dough?  
The comfort food of modern America is now contaminated with E. Coli?

According to food safety investigators, a national outbreak of E. Coli 0157 has been liked to Nestle’s refrigerated cookie dough and sickened at least 65 people in 29 states.

Yet another reason to eat real food, made from scratch. Flour, butter, sugar and eggs: not really that difficult to whip up into a chocolate chip cookie. And the kids will love making them almost as much as they enjoy eating them.
