when I'm making bread the sugar comes from the canister. On non-bread
days the coffee sugar comes from one of those restaurant style
dispensers. The sugar dispenser is a new item for me as I hated
hauling out that canister every day. Salt for baking is in a little
pot with a lid up in the cupboard. Salt for cooking is in a lidded
pot along side the stove. I was just bumble headed this morning. I
hate it when it is black as night outside when I am up at 8 a.m. I
love early sunny summer mornings. {:-{
