The Undomestic Goddess: We tested the limits of the "raw eggs cause salmonella" theory. So far so good.

We tested the limits of the "raw eggs cause salmonella" theory. So far so good.

The kids and I decided to make cookies for the neighbors last night.

About half of them actually made it into the oven, and less than half of those made it to the neighbors

The consumption of raw cookie dough was in the dangerous levels, but my kids weren't screaming, poking, hitting, or glaring at each other so I just went with it.

At one point they decided to make cookies in the shape of light-sabers. The ended up looking a lot like poop, which thankfully, helped end the dough eating frenzy (for me).

One of the best thing about kids: You can give ugly poop-shaped cookies to the neighbors and they actually think it's cute.

OK Chick said...: I think the raw cookie dough is a myth. I've eaten tons of raw cookie dough and I turned out perfectly fine. I mean, besides the A.D.D, allegories, and the random tick I experience. Completely normal.; December 16, 2011 at 7:05 AM
