Apparently I touched a nerve with my 1cup measure hating! ;-) For the
record, I don't eat grits or measure drinks so maybe I can live
without one.

For the record, I don't know where my 2cup measures came from, in
spite of the fact that I've probably been using them for 30 years. I
don't remember buying them, they must have been in some house we lived
in. If only there had been a 1cup measure, I'd probably be a whole
different person.
