From an early age…..I figured that one out….. That’s where I would go for snacks (either officially proffered or unofficially snagged)….. That’s where my Grandma would let me lick the beaters…..or if I was extra lucky…..I might score licking out the bowl….. …..Betty Joe-Bob (my cousin) and I didn’t care what was in…
