I have tried SO hard to hold my tongue on this one but it just gets dumber and dumber and I am not singling out any one person here. It's like a giant groupwide brain fart. A cup by volume is a cup regardless of what you put in it, ffs. Is that so hard to understand? It's not liquid vs dry. It's volume vs weight. I'd like to see anyone weigh ingredients with a damned cup. Sheesh! |

They lose the merchandise and the money, and that's a double loss for them, just because you bought something you don't need. Yes, grocers by policy will accept almost any return, but it's very unfair to take advantage of that and cost them money when there was nothing at all wrong with your purchase. MartyB |

Would you want to buy something to eat that someone else took home and brought back? You're sure it wasn't tampered with or mishandled? It's a matter of an abundance of caution. Besides she has two of these as "backups" so who knows how old they are. Would you want someone else's old stuff in your shopping cart? I don't. Anyway stores don't put returned food items back on the shelf AFAIK. MartyB |

Liquid, dry, the volume measurement is the same. If you want to *weigh* ingredients on a scale in a cup you have to weigh the cup first. ;) Let's get more convoluted and pretend you cannot use the same measures for liquid and dry. If you don't own a food scale it seems the only solution is to get the hell out of the kitchen and go out to eat. Jill |

I tend not to buy them at the grocery store because I already don't know how long they've been sitting there even if someone hadn't returned them. I'm a Penzey's fan (sometimes The Spice House). I freeze herbs and just refill an empty bottle rather than let them sit around getting stale. Jill |

When I whiz it up, I start with equal amounts and then when I see how it is going I will add extra of one of the other to ensure the 'breadcrumb' texure. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

I don't often need to combine butter and flour but that will certainly be a handy short cut. :) Jill |

Maybe he's playing with Winnie and not online. He told the story, he ran over the dog when it was under his car, he clearly didn't see it. Then he rolled the car off the dog as it was jammed under the car. As much as the dog was annoying, he didn't run it over on purpose. I had a neighbor with a barking dog, a black lab. The woman called her previous dog, a collie, across the street and it got hit by a car. That's the level of stupidity, but I digress. She felt like she had to get another dog, they got the lab and chained it up outside and no one ever played with it, just yelled at it. Of course the thing was a nervous wreck and barked at every little thing. Every day if we stepped outside, BARK BARK! on and on. It's friggin annoying. I get JeBus' irritation. But I don't see anything in his story that says he deliberately ran over that dog. nancy |

I believe she's referring to an exterior door from her bedroom, not an interior one. |
