Thank you for mentioning that....That is very true!! Thank you for mentioning that. My mom taught me to add spices "til it looks/tastes right" so I'm used to guessing. I *do* have a collection of measuring spoons/cups, especially the glass Pyrex ones, to use for new recipes, testing a recipe to put on the blog, and for baking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446390912322450927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415199314224332371.post-23263527541549658952012-04-16T21:00:10.246-04:002012-04-16T21:00:10.246-04:00What a great post! if I could offer just three mo...What a great post! if I could offer just three more things... If you are just starting out, just learning to cook you really need a set of measuring cups for dry ingredients, a pyrex :) measuring cup for wet ingredients, and I am lost without at least two sets of measuring spoons. (all of which I have picked up at thrift shops!)It is important to get familiar with what a cup of something or a teaspoon of something looks like. Then you can confidentally eyeball stuff.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875414022467485993noreply@blogger.com
