OK, confession time. I feel kind of guilty about this, but I’m going to just put it out there. I really don’t like having The Bug help me in the kitchen. I mean, I do let him sometimes, but I don’t necessarily like it.

Really it’s my issue. I’m a scientist, and a perfectionist, and a food blogger who wants to make sure I get my measurements right and that it looks pretty. I’m also paranoid.

And he is a grabber, toucher, taster, with no consideration for my meticulous nature, or even for his personal safety when I am using a giant chef’s knife to chop fruits and veggies, have the stand mixer or food processor running, am prepping uncooked meat to go on the grill or in the oven, or especially when I am making a sweet treat and cracking some eggs. I mean, my mom always let me lick the beaters when she was making a cake, or the bowl of cookie dough after all the cookies were in the oven, but it just makes me sooo nervous.

That’s why I am sooo loving Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs, since they are pasteurized, totally eliminating the risk of salmonella. I don’t have to worry about little fingers in the bowl (as long as the mixer is unplugged) making their way into his mouth. Those I’m serving the dish to might have to worry, since he is definitely a double dipper, but I suppose what they don’t know won’t hurt them, right? 😉

Now who is going to invent magical knife that only cut fruit and veggies and not the aforementioned little fingers? And find a magical cure for my perfectionism? Oh well, guess I’ll be cooking solo for awhile longer.

I think The Bug will forgive me for not always letting him cook with me as long as I keep making him treats like this…

OK, so I don’t allllways make him treats like “Funky Monkey” PB Ripple Chip Banana Ice Cream, but it was a special occasion. For his birthday dinner, he requested eggs, fruit salad, and English muffins, and for dessert, instead of cake he wanted to make sundaes. Since I wasn’t making cake, I figured I’d make ice cream. Ice cream especially for him, since it incorporated all of his favorite flavors – bananas, chocolate and peanut butter – all in his favorite dessert – ice cream. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Or the drip doesn’t fall far from the cone, as the case may be.

But this ice cream was perfection to us. Ripples and swirls and gobs of pure, slightly salty, unadulterated peanut butter meander through a sea of sweet, lightly banana flavored ice cream, only interrupted by bits of chocolate that add just the right amount of texture to the smooth creaminess. And, you know, chocolate. I don’t know what heaven is like, but if it’s up to me, it’ll include plenty of this delightful treat.
