Do you remember how much fun it was to lick the bowl when you were a child? We used to love it when Mom would decide to bake a cake. We couldn't wait until she poured the batter into the cake pan. We would beg her to leave "just a little more batter" in the bowl! The bowl and chocolate-covered utensils would be shared between us and more than one fight occurred because of the perceived injustice of someone getting a bigger share than the rest. Eventually, we would all settle in a different corner of the house, the arguing would stop and everyone enjoyed their cake batter. I think that Mom sometimes would bake a cake just for the enjoyment of watching us lick the bowl and savour every spoonful. It's funny, but I can't remember actually eating the cakes when they were baked. I'm sure we did, but it just wasn't as much fun or memory-worthy as licking the bowl. Getting an extra thick layer of batter on the bottom of the bowl and licking it until it's gone . . . it's a good thing!
