Speak to Me in Terms I know

When I am in the kitchen and following a recipe I hate it when they tell you to use 16 oz. of something and then on the label the product is listed in pounds.  Now I know in my head that 16 oz equals one pound, but it would be nice just to confirn to me that I am remembering my elementary school weights and measures training properly.  And what if the recipe is calling for some other random ounce mearsurement that is not right on the top of my head?  The number of grams in the product is just not helpful to me.  Anyway, who out there is using grams and why do I need to know that?

LOL!!! Oh Girl! You make me laugh! I am soooooooooooooo with you on this. I always rack my brain cause I don't trust remembering elementary math. Cause who knows - they may have changed it since then! They've changed so many other things. You know what else drives me nuts? They have lessened the quantity of things; for instance, now if you are trying to follow any of the recipes from 15 years ago that require a 16 oz. tub of Cool Whip means, you have to buy TWO because now the tubs only contain 12 oz.

I have to come back to keep going back on your blog to read all of your posts. I am having such a great time visiting with you! Well . . . except for the nasty spider bite which wasn't very fun. (You gave him what he deserved by the way - LOL)

Thanks for visiting my blog and my little creative space. I'll be back! Karen - SOme Days Are DIamonds
