[Poll #963817]

It occurs to me that I do this far more than I should, considering I can practically hear my grandmother screaming, "Salmonella poisoning!" every time I open the fridge.

Well, the swelling over my eye has gone done and I don't even have a damn bruise, which kinda sucks. This is one of the few times I've ever wanted an injury to look really scary-bad even though it's on my face. I think I wanted to go around telling everybody I'd gotten into a street fight and won. Heh. :)

Pasteurized eggs are the friend of raw cookie dough. :P

Also, egg subsitute.

When I make cookie dough for consumption as dough only, I just leave out the eggs. It used to be a favorite DVD-viewing treat when I was with my ex-boyfriend.

Totally off topic, but did you see that Bravo announced that they'd signed Tim Gunn for the upcoming season of PR?

*flails with joy*

Dude, I am a fan of buying the tubes of cookie dough and just keeping it in the fridge to snack on AT ALL TIMES.

Sometimes, I'm too lazy to make cookie dough to eat!


(Salmonella is a myth told to make food less delicious. IT FAILS.)

OMG YES! *flails*

I'm dying here. Buying season two just made things worse. At the very least we have to wait through a season of Shear Genius, and I'm guessing another season of Top Chef, too. *whimpers*

Well. I have made cakes that filled up a lot less of the pan than they should have.

My mother used to tell me that only the chef was allowed to eat the dough in an attempt to get me to stop. I really don't think she expected me to learn how to bake in retaliation. ;)

What is this "keep in the fridge" of which you speak? As if it lasts that long!

Is that "I" in the poll referring to the poll taker or the poll maker?

After going home from college for the summer and having left the boy I'd fallen in love with who was interested in me, and that was the first time it had ever happened to me in return? Made a giant bowl of cookie dough and ate it over the course of five days.

I gained 5 pounds. I did not care. It was so worth it. When I move into my first apartment next fall, I am totally doing it again just because I can sit around in boxers and a bra eating cookie dough if I want because I have an apartment, yaye!

When I make cookie dough, I'll sit there and eat the dough until I start to feel sick, and then I'll bake the rest into cookies.

I voted yes because it's the closest to the truth. I buy rolls of dough to eat out of the tube instead of baking them. I just got back from the grocery and am very sorry that I didn't buy some. It sounds so good.

Well, don't worry about it at all - as long as the cookie dough is in the fridge, and the fridge is set at 41 degrees or lower, NOTHING will happen. No ecoli, no salmonella. Enjoy the cookie dough, guilt and worry free!
what? I work in a lunchroom - I have to know useless shit like that!

When I was little my mom would make sugar cookies over Christmas and leave the dough in the garage overnight to cool. She used to have to lock the back door and hide the key so I couldn't get at it. This continued until I was about 11. Then I learned to bake. :-)

When I was teaching my sisters how to bake we'd make chocolate chip cookies and just eat everything as we went along (the second tastiest thing after finished dough is the step right before you add the eggs, where it's just butter and vanilla and two kinds of sugar). My mom wouldn't notice us eating the dough because hey, we'd bake some too! Except that there were only half as many cookies as the recipe called for. You can't prove anything.

On the other hand, dough-eating in my house decreased dramatically after my sister actually did get salmonella poisoning (not from cookies). She spent a week in the hospital getting needles stuck into her spine. None of us were all too interested in cookie dough after that.

Just because I've never done that does not mean that I haven't eaten juuuust a little too much of the batter to be counted as "left in the bowl," though.

[caseylane.livejournal.com]

I would gag before I could eat it. Raw eggs and uncooked flour (worm eggs!!!!) do not sound good to me at all.

[vass]

False: it didn't make it to the fridge.

[squirrelarmy.livejournal.com]

I TOTALLY DO RIGHT. :D

Actually, interestingly enough, in America everyone freaks out about raw eggs and salmonella and whatnot, but in Japan they eat raw eggs a lot. And actually, when I made chocolate chip cookies for my host family here and gave the dough to the kids, my host mommy was worried about the flour. :D
