Work with me on this one?

You are cooking and need to use a measuring cup - you need one cup of water.

HOW do you do it?

------

I pick up the cup in my left hand - I am right handed - I hold the cup under the faucet and work the handle with my right.......Got it so far?

With the measuring cup in my left hand, I raise it to read the markings and then realize that the markings are in milliliters.

------
In order to read the markings - the ones I am familiar with cup and fractions there of?

I have to spin the cup and my head around or change hands to get to see the cups measuring marks.

Ugh, that irks to poop out of me every time, BTW? It's a nice glass Pyrex cup......

For one cup, I just use the plastic half cup I keep handy for most thing, and fill it twice! Honest! When I need more than a cup, I use the Pyrex cup and set it on the counter, pour, either crouch or pick the cup up to eye level to check how close I am, set it back down and adjust accordingly!

There is a set of plastic nesting measuring cups on a string hanging off of a cupboard knob. Now, it would be easy to grab them, find the right cup and go from there? But THAT would be too easy!!!!

That's why I hate the newer Pyrex measuring cups. I broke our old quart measuring cup that had the measurements on the correct side.

Hmm, should we check the ones from Ennis Rd? - they are now in a box to be given away, but we have a list so know which box it would be in!

Rough spring weather in northern Illinois today. It started rainy and foggy, in the 40s F; then this afternoon the day brightened and the temperature went up into the 60s. Now tonight it is raining hard, with severe weather warnings and a tornado in Rochelle, Illinois which is about 60 miles northwest of Chicago. This is the spring weather I don't like.

Hope everyone you know stayed safe!

Saw crocuses today, and very flat-to-theground primrose, too! That was unexpectedly cheery!
