Eventually, I outgrew the craving, and took up smoking instead.<br /><br />We had a Sunbeam Mixmaster and my kid sister always asked to be allowed to lick the beaters, something a lot of folks probably grew up doing. Our parents took us on a tour of the Mars candy plant. When we passed the enormous mixing bowls, Sis excitedly asked if she could lick the huge industrial beaters. That request earned her a lot of laughs from the employees and the rest of the group. She was seven years old. Big Brother still razzes her about it, six decades later.Grizz 65noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-35508866596299988192018-04-23T15:30:02.405-05:002018-04-23T15:30:02.405-05:00Cake batter is better.Cake batter is better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-21097072207168279612018-04-23T15:29:45.085-05:002018-04-23T15:29:45.085-05:00Scribe you are too funny.Scribe you are too funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-17440862028406233082018-04-23T15:29:11.158-05:002018-04-23T15:29:11.158-05:00There are packets or cups of cookie dough you can ...There are packets or cups of cookie dough you can buy now that are okay to eat raw.

Patience proved a virtue by the fantastic cookies my Granny produced, barely fast enough to keep ahead of my appetite. But if the dough moves you, I would think the odds are in your favor, scrape away.JPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-30910638929486241202018-04-23T09:45:23.802-05:002018-04-23T09:45:23.802-05:00Makes sense to me.

Callers frequently query him about the dangers of eating certain foods that might have carcinogens or excess fat or excess sugar and although Dr. Paster is an enthusiastic proponent of the Mediterranean diet, he usually tells these callers that eating such foods probably increases the risk of bad outcomes a couple of percent, but that as long as they maintain an otherwise healthy diet and only scarf up bacon, red meat, French fries, ice cream and the like occasionally, the indulgences might actually help to keep them on the straight and narrow the rest of the time. He himself confesses a taste for Big Macs, which he indulges a couple times a month on average.<br /><br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-16901152350022944472018-04-22T11:21:03.034-05:002018-04-22T11:21:03.034-05:00"Make sense?"

Rather, I put not eating it in the category of "something you're not supposed to do that I don't do anyway," which is my favorite category of things you're not supposed to do. : ) Jakashnoreply@blogger.com
