Sadly, today’s over vigilant society warns against eating anything containing raw eggs; and, as God is my witness, I’ve even seen that warning on a bag of flour.
My favorite cake in the mixer story that’s true: my brother was trying hard to get my mom’s attention when she was in the bathroom. She kept telling him to leave her alone. He finally did. When she came out, there was cake batter all over the ceiling, walls, table, floor – and when she started to get mad, my brother said she would not allow him to explain why he was trying to get her attention, so he gave up. I was very young, so I only remember that part of it, and was just playing in the other room, unaware of the actual drama until my mom saw the mess. Who walks away from a cake in a running mixer, anyway?
Gladys also says, "Wilberforce wanted to lick the mixer blade but I told him it was too dangerous, you might cut your tongue. Oh, Brutus, I forgot to tell you, we’re having Tongue for dinner tonight, with saurkraut and boiled potatoes…

there’s as much icing on the rim of that bowl as there is on the cake

Well that’s a win for Brutus… for a nice change… I can’t remember the last time someone baked me a cake…

As a kid, licking the bowl and the beaters was my job too.

Gladys is acting kind of mean! Of course he helped cleaning up even if it was licking the bowl.

Wilberforce needs to lick that bowl again.

In my book it does. Don’t forget to clean/lick the frosting covered egg beaters/mixer too. Nice job wife for making a surprise cake……

And just put the dirty dishes out in the yard and the dog will wash them spanking clean…

Gladys should consider that to be a compliment to her baking! This one brought back wonderful childhood memories. Thanks Chip!

What’s the difference between a good mom and a great one? A good one lets you lick the beaters. A great one turns the mixer off first.
