You're crazy! All I know is that it is no more difficult/time
consuming to weigh as opposed to measuring by volume. The good cooks
say volume is unreliable, particularly in very humid weather. So if I
was going to make cookies, I might measure by volume but if I was
going to make a Genoise, you can bet I will weigh to be certain.

I have two different brands of glass volume measurers, one Pyrex and
another some make I don't particularly know. What they both call 1
cup is not the same volume if I measure it with water.

LOL don't you just love it ...

" Not my problem if Ophelia can't read and turns the thread into a weight vs

*I* turned it into a weight etc ..*

She needs to be careful who she calls 'asshole' just because someone
disagrees!

She is the only person I have ever or will ever call an ASSHOLE! But she
fits it perfectly!!!
