This week we visited seniors at the MLK apartments in Roxbury to talk about FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease) and how they can cause some massive backups if dumped down the drain. When you have left over FOG, make sure to cool it, can it and trash it! Thank you again for inviting us!

Today is National pastry Day! Whether you're a home cook or a professional pastry chef, after achieving that perfect golden crust, remember to dispose of any excess fats, oils, and grease in a can, then throw it in the trash. FOG should never go down the drain; it can lead to massive backups!
