Question of the {DAY}

Can you get salmonella poisoning from refrigerated cookie dough?!? Normally I make my own cookies but the fam brought home some of that "cookie dough in a roll" type stuff and I must say it's pretty tasty. The cookies aren't as good as homemade once they're baked. Although, I will admit, by the time the cookies come out of the oven....I'm already suffering from a stomach ache from eating the batter :) Once in a while I may eat ONE cookie, if it's HOT & right out of the oven but otherwise I just stick with the good stuff...the dough. Probably not too smart, especially with the uncertainty of where our food comes from these days or how good the quality is. You'd think the recent peanut butter incident would frighten me enough to be more prudent about it - apparently NOT.
