Canadians like their…. topsy turvy measuring systems
I already posted about how they like the metric system. That’s a given.
It’s not just that they use the metric system, though. It’s that any given recipe may use multiple types of measurements. It wasn’t uncommon for me to have to use the scale for weighing flour…a spoon for teaspoons….and then another type of cup for milliliters (or more likely, dig around online for a conversion). Gah! It’s bad enough having to use multiple teaspoons, tablespoons, and half cups anyway, pfft.
So after listening to me whine about this more than once, Mom sent me the above/below ‘shot glass’ measuring glass for Christmas last year. It covered every type of measuring I might encountered under the half cup mark so that I didn’t have to try to convert the measurements…. or dirty every spoon in the house.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, that’s purple leopard printed socks tucked inside….also part of my quirky gift box collection that was sent. <3
The socks that go with everything – My, what pretty rolling pins you have!
Early mornings combined with kids in a hurry often lead to the best outfits.
In this case, it was a night gown with Mom’s socks combined with her little sister’s sandals that don’t fit.
Those socks, though? Awesome enough to wear with everything, so can you really blame her for trying to wear them?
