Are We Safe From Explosive Diarrhea? Plus, Japanese-Peruvian Cuisine
It was a deadly weekend, as gun violence injured 14 people and took the life of one. Is this a summer cluster, or an outlier? Also, if you’ve been thinking about explosive diarrhea as much as we have, don’t worry. Annalisa Hultberg, an educator at University of Minnesota Extension, assures us Minnesota produce is safe from the multi-state cyclospora outbreak. Plus, if you’re in the mood for food that unexpectedly mixes two cultures, check out Roseanne Pereira’s latest edition of Keep It Local. She talks about a Japanese-Peruvian spot in Hopkins, and a catering company that blew her mind.
