The Broomstick Test

I was making brownies the other day for my grandson and remembered that to test the brownies, to see if they were done I used a toothpick. But I remembered that I wrote an article about how back in the good old days, the 20 and earlier, that to test baked goods, they would use the clean end of a strand from the broomstick, because toothpicks for most Americans were a luxury, and cost to much. So remember that when you are baking and sweeping the floor, you can still get two things done at the same time.
