... to licking the spoon after making frozen chocolate peanut butter pie? Thanksgiving is going to ruin my diet this week.

    It depends on how many times you do it...

    Chew a piece of gum while your cooking. You won't be as likely to nibble while you work.

    Especially if it's a minty fresh stick of gum. Minty gum + most foods = :sick:

    The gum sounds like a great tip! Good to know when I am cooking on Thursday!

    Hmm, maybe this means I need to be in charge of things like turkey and ice cubes this year. No temptation of eating raw turkey and can't do much damage with ice cubes. I have a feeling that is not going to happen though. Tomorrow is the first big cooking day, so I guess I need to start thinking of some strategies. I was only focused on the big meal, not on getting through cooking without eating a ton.

    If you jump up and down or do jumping jacks while you do it, then probably nothing... but who wants to risk spilling a drop?? :laugh:
