The "she" in this case is a bit of an idiot. You described an unfortunate incident. She misinterpreted it and all the proof she needed was you not denying it in time. |

I weigh everything:-) Thankfully, most of the better baking books published these days have recipes in weights as well as cups. The most annoying thing is that some UK baking recipes are converted to cup measure by the publishers on this side of the pond, and the conversions are not very good. Graham |

I want you all to focus on my pantry and tell me how many cans of tomatoes there are on the third shelf up (Use a tomato psychic if you must) . Did I buy too many? Who carried them in from the car? Do I need to buy more? Will they go out of date overnight so I have to throw them out? Janet UK |

About the only > ingredient that *is* consistent when using measuring cups is granulated > sugar. Consistency is always doing it the same way. I know the importance of precise measurements when baking, but there are a lot of other factors in there, like temperature and humidity. |
| notbob <notbob@nothome.com>: Jul 07 09:29PM > Scooping variably compresses the flour and can make a significant > difference to your baked goods. Also, the difference in humidity between one place and another can effect measurements. Which is precisely why some folks choose to weigh. If you have a scale, weigh. If not, consistent meaurement is the answer. I use both and have discovered I sometimes use too much flour when measuring. Sloppy volume measuring, compaction of flour, etc. That is why I provided this link: http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm If you need some explanation on how it works...... nb |

It's not like she had some crazy whacked out druggie > in-law's living there and they are known thieves. It's an exterior door. If I don't lock it, anyone could get in. The interior door to my room is a pocket door. I only close it if I need to change clothes or take a shower and people are working in the backyard. Not likely they would see me but it could happen. Or... If I need to keep the cats in there for some reason. |

I could probably change my own oil in my car too. There are just certain things I won't do. Or won't do any more. Keep in mind I am disabled. Doing something that requires me to stand up for any length of time just doesn't work. Cooking is different. I can use a barstool or just take a break and sit down. If I am using a screwdriver, I can't always just stop in the middle of something and go sit down. And something like a doorknob is at a fixed height so a chair or barstool won't necessarily help. I color my own hair. I am capable of doing that. I don't cut my own hair. I am not capable of doing that. And I don't really care what you or anyone else here thinks about it. It's my house and my life. I do what I need to do. |

Graphite has worked in every sticky lock > situation I've been in - most of which includes salt air corrosion. WD 40 attracts attracts dirt?????? Really? The stuff seems to have some magical qualities when it comes to loosing up stuck threads, cleaning dirty wiring, displacing water. I am curious about how it could suck dirt into the cylinder of a lock. |

That sounds fair. There is a vortex of dysfunction in that household. |
