Last night I made pancakes for dinner (Thanks Misty for the dinner inspiration). My 8 year-old brother Henry was over for a visit. As we stirred the batter he asked if he could lick the spoon.
I told him, "no." I further explained that raw egg yolks in the batter could make him really sick with salmonella.
He said, "Oh, I forgot. Ask a Mom and you always get worse case scenario."
