“Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation… Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.”

If you like eating cookie dough, and specifically Nestle cookie dough, here is an important health announcement.
Nestle’s U.S. baking division said on Friday that it was voluntarily recalling its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned of the risk of contamination with E. coli bacteria… Nestle said the products involved in the recall included all varieties of Nestle Toll House refrigerated Cookie Bar Dough, Cookie Dough Tub, Cookie Dough Tube, Limited Edition Cookie Dough items, Seasonal Cookie Dough and Ultimates Cookie Bar Dough.
Sorry this actually came out Friday… so hopefully you didn’t have a girl party over the weekend that included a tub of Nestle cookie dough.

Just a Secret…
Pssst! Rachel T. has a big fat crush on Nathan F., and I’m pretty sure he likes her, too.
Promise not to tell ANYONE!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – People who regularly eat burned or charred red meat, like that cooked on a grill, have a 60 percent higher risk of pancreatic cancer, U.S. researchers reported Tuesday.
The finding is one of the strongest yet linking very well-done meat, especially red meat, to cancer.
“Our findings in this study are further evidence that turning down the heat when grilling, frying, and barbecuing to avoid excess burning or charring of the meat may be a sensible way for some people to lower their risk for getting pancreatic cancer,” Kristin Anderson of the University of Minnesota, who led the study, said in a statement.

Happy Birthday Me
For those of you that don’t have it on your personal reminder app you prob didn’t know it’s my birthday 24 hours from now. And for those of you not inside my head you prob didn’t know I’m having a dessert party Sunday evening at 6:30pm. It is an open invite as all who read this are family or friends. Stop by and grab some dessert and say hi, we don’t have anything else planned besides a dunking booth, pinata, tag, balloon pop game, pin the tale of the donkey, a movie, 1,111 pictures of pace’s life slideshow, Chase impersonating his Dad, and a tribute to Pace by Charlotte. So if you want some treats and good times, come by around 6:30pm, and it would be so nice of you to call Joy between now and then to make sure she has enough for you.
Oral cough and cold medicines sold over the counter should not be used in children younger than 4 years old because of the risk of rare complications linked to inappropriate use, manufacturers said on Tuesday.
“Research shows that dosing errors and accidental ingestions — not the safety of the ingredients themselves when properly dosed — are the leading causes of rare adverse events in young children,” the group said in a statement.
The association said it made the decision in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which last week held a public meeting to weigh the controversial use of such products in children.
Manufacturers have maintained that nonprescription cough and cold products are safe when used as directed.
But doctors and consumer advocates have called on the agency to reject use of the medicines in children as old as 12. They argued the products have never been proven safe and effective, making any risk too great to give them to children.
Reported complications have included seizures, stroke and other side effects.
