And licking the bowl and beaters. And mixing spoons, can't forget those.

I started young learning how to make stuff in the kitchen (I was about to type "cook" but seriously, nothing I did was really cooking until I got my own place) because that way I did not have to share licking beaters with my younger sister.

These days, because I love her very much, I will give my wife a beater to lick. (One beater.) And the bowl. (After I've made a first pass.)
