And they actually measure
Hi all,
Teuthis, somewhere in the world, I forget where but maybe on a remote chain of South Pacific islands or northern Mongolia, I think there is a tribe of people who actually measure things.
They use these measuring things that come on rings like a keychain and measure 1/8th teaspoon, 1/4th teaspoon, etc., up to a tablespoon. They use measuring cups with very precise markings, and sometimes even scales that weigh to the fraction of an ounce.
Where they come from, a pinch of this, a shake of that, a bit of dried herbs rubbed between your palms and dropped in the pot, a splash of this and a dollup of that, are NOT considered measurements.
Although I haven't used Fitday, I think from what I've read that this tribe would find it a very useful device indeed.
These people must get very frustrated when they ask, "Well, how much is that lump of butter? " and get a reply like, "Oh, I dunno, 'bout the size of a walnut."
But, Teuthis, we know from reading this forum that many people find Fitday extremely valuable, and whatever works . . . well, works.
