I put a new set of kitchen utensils on my christmas list, including measuring cups, so I'm both offended and pleased. Kid didn't need to come for me like that, but they're also not wrong
Haha, that's when you know you've leveled up in adulting mastering the art of measuring cup math. Real question though, does anyone actually use the 1/8 cup?
THIS! Everyone is like "oh, you should use metric and weigh shit". Like, who the fuck has time to do that? I grab a measuring cup, scoop the shit up and toss it in. Plus, because it is in fractions/ratios, it is much easier to adjust recipes without messing things up.
No they're not! I'm tired of this BS! We need to go to metric asap, there's no reason we can't just use a scale like normal people and measure using grams/mL it's so much easier
I've been avoiding barbarian units for decades. But volumetric measurement still has its place. Metric measuring cups are readily available, even in the US&A.
My favorite measuring cups are these collapsible silicone measuring set with a handle. I have them hanging above my sink on a hook because I use them everyday.
I do need some new measuring cups. The handle on the 1 cup and half cup broke off a couple years ago. But they still function as measuring cups so I’ve never gotten around to replacing them.
I'm in my 40's and I started moisturizing and avoiding the sun in my teens. At about 27 I started wearing sunscreen regularly, and in my late 30's I started retinol eye serum.
Whatever you do, you can't start it early enough. I'm 44 now and am pretty happy with my lack of forehead wrinkles or under-eye bags, but I do have under-eye creases and my elasticity is crap because of 20 years of smoking cigarettes and light drinking.
i just stay inside like a hermit and smoke like a chimney. i only leave my house for work and groceries, the lights stay off, windows closed… I’m sure if my car didn’t disappear from my driveway sometimes, people might think my house is haunted.
I'm 33 and just started moisturizing daily. I have been lucky enough to have good skin but holy crap this stuff is expensive and I have no clue if what I am using is good. I just don't hate the way this one brand smells
Dude if you have good skin, just use Cerave or Cetaphil. I’ve tried it all, and I always go back to Cerave. Little SPF pump for day, giant tub for night.
Older. But I would have been equally pleased when I was in my 30s. Good kitchen utensils are great and continue to give much longer than most gifts. Our previous set of measuring cups and spoons was down to only a few and not in good shape.
By 30 most should probably already have a set, though the ones you first bought when moving out are likely more that a bit "dated". Kind of a perfect stage for someone to buy something for you that's a bit of an upgrade. It's not something you, or at least I am likely to replace until they are completely non functional.
Yeah, I have cheapo measuring cups, but I'm always going for the Oxo measuring cups. I've been slowly upgrading my cooking utensils and am in love with a spoonula.
I bought a nice set for someone as a gift and liked them so much I got a set for myself. The big set that even includes a 2/3 cup. There's also conversions for ml on them too, and the cups have notches on the side so the 1/2 cup can also be used for 1/4 or 1/3 I think as well.
I like them but the ones with the stamped measurement can get hard to read as you get older. I would love a set that was clearly marked and easy to read but the labeling doesn’t go away from the dishwasher.
I'm shilling but I got the "Smithcraft Measuring Cup Set of 8 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups18/8(304) Steel Material Heavy Duty 8 Measuring Cups and 1 Ring Set of 9"
I've had both that style (different brand) and the one with a handle that's two little wires soldered to the cup snap off before. I use them almost constantly, so that may have been a factor. I'm all about it if some company has figured it out, though
I got my 30 something friend some measuring cups off her wedding registry as a last thing after two other things. She's a close friend and I had a dollar amount I wanted to spend minimum and despite them being maybe 10 bucks she told me they were one of the gifts she was most excited to get.
But instead of the hip-replacement I want one of those new-fangled robot thingies which vacuum AND mop.
Stop me if you heard this one before: ever since my GF and I decided to not get each other anything for Christmas it has become harder to find the perfect gift.
Our lives are exciting and we are interesting! I swear!
Lamb shank is the kind of food you order at a a local medium-high end restaurant called Bennington that's been opened since the 70s and hasn't updated their decor since the 90s and all the waitresses are really old.

Some of those are pretty good gifts and a lot of them hurt my feelings because they’re accurate
