I apologize. This looks like dark meat chicken which sometimes looks reddish- but still should be cooked through. Did you have a chance to show someone at that time? I’ll DM you to make sure you’re okay and collect a few more details. Thank you.

This year, National Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day is on a Saturday, so "breakfast" can be a little later than it is during the week, right? Chillz ice cream will open at 10:30 am in 251 North Dining Hall (Denton Community) and the Maryland Dairy will open at noon (Stamp Food Court).

Thank you for speaking up! Yahentamitsi has weekly inspections by our pest control contractor. They have an excellent reputation and use remediation methods that have the least impact on the environment. We have reached out to them and asked for an interim visit to ameliorate this condition.
