I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

It wasn't dry stuff, is was water and milk for cooking. It was fine :) Its a good guideline tho re:consistency and definitely for baking/dry ingredients.

I also only eat to live, I don't have a super sensitive palate so its 99% the time just as well

If you have to eat to live, you may as learn to make it taste as good as you can. You may as well derive as much enjoyment as you can from the things you have to do anyway.

Meh, I'd rather it be little more than passable, so its not addictive and I don't get fat and also corralled into cooking for anybody else unless I want to ;)

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Yup, you're right. I wouldn't want to end up fat like Gordon Ramsay either.

In case anyone wants to see the unedited retorts from this chucklefuck:

Ahh, internet. Never change

I'm too tired to destroy you haha, lets be more transient on this line of inquiry;)

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're right. Truce. I really shouldn't be facing off in a battle of wits against the unarmed anyway.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the 1/2-baked retort, ch[i]ef 🤣

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

At least learn to spell your insults correctly cheese grater...

Nice edit there, che[i]ef
