Thank you for this article, you've inspired me right into the kitchen. This is an especially good idea today because, well, it's a cold, rainy October day, but also because I've got a fall cold, and I'm just restless enough to mix some dough up that I have no desire to eat! What are your thoughts on baking while ill? I figure as long as I'm not in the first few contagious days, and wash my hands repeatedly, there should be no risk to anyone eating my cookies, would there? Thanks again.
