Wow, this thread took off like a cat on a hot tin roof... or something...
We just got back from our 4 hour Eid celebration dinner, which is why I was baking the muffins... and truly, the batter DOES taste better than the finished product!!! I just love the texture of batter. Dough is even better. I'll even eat bread dough, pizza dough, anything of that texture... I love it.
So I am not going to stop my batter-eating ways, and ktsp is going to continue eating his kibbe nyeh (and yes dlish, I agree--I'll take kibbe balls ANY DAY, yum yum, but no thanks on the raw ground beef). I know that there is still a risk, but that's life. Most eggs in Iceland come pretty straight off the farm (and it's a small place, so there isn't much chance of them being more than a day or two old)... and hey, salmonella isn't
always deadly, right?
But what's this about avoiding iguanas? Not that I've seen one in a few years, but I'm curious...
