A modernized ‘butter dish’ that quickly and cleanly serves elegant pats of butter. Easy to operate and clean, functions as advertised and is a handy and clean way to store butter.

I THINK a package of yeast is two tablespoons, but just for you? I’m gonna go check and get back to you on that.

With time we all must change our thinking and doing too.

Well, I can help you with the stick of butter thing… sort of! It’s a half a cup. And if I weren’t at my in-laws I could give you the metric too as I have a fancy magnet on my fridge that gives me all these nice conversions.
If you’re interested I got it through colorfulimages.com

As for the packet of yeast… I think it’s somewhere around 2 tablespoons… the metric would be on my magnet as well! And also useful when you buy yeast in bulk or in a jar when you use it frequently like some of my friends do.

You actually make a pretty good point. BTW, I’m of Dutch descent, so I’ve known a number of male Jans in the States. I’m guessing they didn’t have it any easier.

I so get the measurments thing. When I was little and learning the measuring systems ….here in the US no less…we were taught the Metric System. We were told back in the mid 1970s that the whole world was going Metric so we needed to only learn Metric.

I still cannot tell you what all those lines are between 1 inch and 2 inch markers on a ruler. The “English” measurements confuse the poop outta me! Metric is so much easier.

It was fine; I LOVED the message. Somehow, only about 10% of the human race ever thinks about that idea, truly, it is at the heart of so much of the grief we inflict on one another and the bad feelings we harbor towards one another. This is one of the concepts that could really lead to peace on earth.

Hej right back at you!
Love the thought that we are all different and have different perspectives, and yet isn’t it awesome in all the ways we are the same. A smile means the same thing in every language, every country, every culture.

I tried cooking Risgrynsgröt and had the darndest time trying to figure out what mycket svag varm means.
Har det bra and good luck with school!

I have felt similar frustration when trying to cook from a few old-fashioned recipes in my family. A packet of this, an egg-sized bit of that…
