Dear Friends,
If you're planning to decorate Easter eggs this year, or if you're preparing hard-boiled eggs for your Passover seder, visit the Culinary Arts Web site for egg safety tips to help you and your family stay healthy.
And remember, use one set of eggs for decorating and hunting, and another for eating. Or to be really safe, use plastic eggs for your Easter egg hunt instead of real ones. Under no circumstances should you let anyone eat eggs that have been unrefrigerated (whether at room temperature or outside) for more than two hours. That includes hard-boiled egg used as part of the Passover seder.
If you need us, Immediate Care is open:
Saturday, April 7, 9 am - 9 pm
Sunday, April 8, 11 am - 5 pm.
Wishing you a happy, healthy Spring!
