I am happy when I find a joint that just does some of the old standards very nicely. Sort of like architects, creating hideous monstrosities that are "new and inspired". |

I was all set to head out when a familiar looking dog showed up at our house. It turned out to be Winston a collie we know from the dog park. I knew that he lived on a farm about a mile down the road but I was not sure which one it was. There are two with houses set way back from the road and I was not sure which was which. I stopped at the house three doors down to ask because he is friends Dave, with Winston's owner and Dave was there. He was surprised to see Winston with me because the dog had been in the house when he left. |

It's not fair to people who choose their lines by how much PRODUCT is in front of them in the checkout line. One item doesn't make a difference but a whole cart does. I've left my cart in line and gone 30 feet to grab one more thing while they're still checking out people in front of me and somebody had the nerve to push my cart out of line and move up to my spot. Oh, no, no, no, no, no... I was back before the line even moved and only gone 14-15 seconds. I shoved my cart right back in line where I was. I'm very good at The Grocery Game. -sw |

Not me! :):):) You should, because none of thse web sites offers true information... truth is the most accurate method for dry measure is a scale. Filling a wet measure cup to a line is no less accurate than using a dry measuering cup scraped across the rim... and easy to prove by scraping several cups of dry ingredients and filling several cups to a line, then weighing and comparing. You'll find no cups will weigh exactly the same but all will weigh plenty close enough for cooking... cooking is NOT pharmacy. That said I don't use dry measure cups for baking, I use a scale or eyeballs... I've found dry measure cups inaccurate when measuring several cups of flour. |

Not stainless steel as was claimed. >I have a number of stainless steel measuring cups and jugs. Most are of aluminum simply because they cost less, but in either case when either metal cup goes out of round (which is usual) they are inaccurate. I've found the best and easist way to measure wet or dry is with graduated ss ladles... I have a graduated set from 2 oz thru 1 qt. I most often use the 1/2 cup and 1 cup. |

It's a good sales gimmick, and I am sure there are some around who actually think that the two are not interchangeable. You have to be a pretty anal cook to have to have wet and dry measuring cups and convince yourself that it is critically important. Alton Brown comes to mind as an example of a cook is is anal to the point of being annoying. I have a set of nesting stainless measuring cups which would likely be considered dry measure cups. They are great for scooping an exact cup of flour or a a half cup of packed brown sugar. I also have stainless cup that is slightly larger than one cup because it extends a little higher than the graduated line for one cup. I have no problems using my pyrex measuring cup to measure dry ingredients, and I can use my dry measure cups for liquids and then carry them over and pour without spilling. I wonder how many of these anal geniuses are aware of the effects of meniscus. Since Julie is obviously glued to my criticisms of her I realize I will have to explain about the curvature of the surface of a liquid in a container. It can be convex or concave. If you fill a measuring cup to a graduated line on the cup the actual surface of the liquid may be a little higher than the line, or it can be a little lower. The actual difference in the volume between a concave or a convex meniscus will depend on the volume of the cup or other measuring vessel. That is going to be a real stumper for those who think they are measuring more accurately by using what they think is the appropriate measuring cup. |

It is rare to have an >exterior door in a bedroom, unless it is a higher end place. Not necessarilly, many ordinary homes have glass sliders from a bedroom to a deck, patio, or balcony. I have glass sliders from my dining area to a deck, the door has a key lock but I never bother with it, to lock I place a hardwood dowel in its track. |

What puzzles me is WHY someone needs to lock their bedroom door when they are living with family which just happens to be their husband and daughter. It's not like she had some crazy whacked out druggie in-law's living there and they are known thieves. |

Some years ago, there was an elderly lady here that died 1 foot away from her door in a fire because she couldn't get out. She also had one of those needs a key from both sides type of lock.

| Nancy Young <rjynlyordnospam@verizon.net>: Jul 07 01:15PM -0400 Okay, it didn't come to fisticuffs or anything, but there was yelling. This happened to us once before, got in line to pay and someone showed up and said they were with the person in front of us. That's no big deal except the person in front of us already had two full carts and this new person also has a mounded, over the top full cart. Not that one last item. Today, same deal, we are in line behind someone who has two very full carts. Fine, not complaining about that. Then this other person shows up with another overly full cart and just walks past the line to join them. Wait, what? The original person is now telling the latecomer where to find something. They're *still* shopping! Ron said Do you think you're getting on line now with her? Yeah, sorry. We went and got on another line. Annoyed and also amazed at the brass ones some people have, still watching to see how it's going. They leave the line *again* to find something. Long story short, cashier is refusing to check out newcomer, Get at the end of the line, woman in front of us now goes over to make sure the cashier knows what's been going on because they did that to her before we even showed up. So Ron went over to put in his two cents, you can't know how rare that is. Much yelling and arguing by the rude customer. And as we were leaving, the woman went to get *more* stuff even though they were already surrounded by security and angry customers. That's the most excitement I've ever seen at laid back Costco. nancy |
