Since we're on the food measuring thingy I'll throw in my 2 cents. Do I ever shut up? Yes, I'm on a forum posting frenzy!

ANYWAY, I have one of those Sunbeam digital postal scales. I ordered it through Staples and even got free delivery. Best money I ever invested b/c I can put my bowl on the scale and then press the tare button and it goes to "zero". You can keep pressing the tare button if you add multiple items to your bowl. Since I'm terribly lazy, this is the best option for me. Besides, it's more accurate than measuring 1 1/4 cups of strawberries.
