Those cakes were good , butt I wood really like to taste your MUFFINS

Thank You

I think we are living in a society where we have become suit happy and recall happy.  I had an Easy Bake Oven.  It was a lightbulb in a plastic box, that heated the cake mix.. and baked it.  The darn thing got hot.  If you removed the cake with bare hands, you got burned.  So what did my parents do, they stayed with me the first time I made a cake, explained safety to me, and the first time I ran to them and complained about burning myself.. told me to be more careful.

They didn't scream about the oven being unsafe.  What next, we should recall baseballs.  Afterall, if you get hit with one.. you could get a concussion.  And rollerblades.. if you fall you can get hurt.  Lets add bicycles, barbies (they do have sharp edges on their hands and you could poke your eyes out), trucks (what if you stepped on one.. see rollerblades above), stuffed animals (those noses and eyes can come off an choke someone).  Better yet, why don't we wrap our kids in bubble wrap.. give them holographic toys and that solves the problem.

Where do the parents' roles come into play?  Did they buy and Easy Bake oven for a child too young?  Because an older child would have some sense about sticking their hand in an oven.  Did mom and dad just give the oven to the kid with no instructions about safety?

Now, I'm going to go out to Mc Donalds, order a hot coffee, stick it between my legs as I drive my stick shift car, scald my knees when the cup collapses when I slam on the brakes, and sue Mc Donalds Corp for $1m dollars.. for bodily injury!  Oh and for psychological trauma!

I guess we were baking cookies.

I posted above without first noticing Lisa's post.

What's the odds?
