Nope but you can type your one liners faster than I can type several lines ~ normally when the site tells me that another post has been made as I type I review that which I have written but on the last two occasions I let it run and after posting went back to add the edit.

You are getting predictable old horse.

The Yanks have measuring cups for Liquids and others for Dry ingredients. They also sell sets with quarter and half cups as well as full ones.


That is what I have. I actually find cooking with them far easier than cooking with scales.

I confess I lean toward the Keith Floyd method of a "metric handful" and a "good splosh"

Normal cooking I agree but for baking where measurement is vaguely important I prefer the cup method.

You are of course right, as ever, but I don't do a lot of baking what with Minimus being allergic to eggs and all.

Basic throwing of a meal together is what I am mainly confined to these days.
