My friend's son had to bake something for cooking badge for Scouts. He decided to make Brownies. She was in and out of the kitchen, when her daughter asked " What in the world is Brian doing in here." He had his hands in the bowl of batter mixing it up. She asked, "what are you doing". To which he promptly replied, "Mom, the directions said mix throughly by hand". We have always kidded about mixing by hand!
