About to feel really dumb.
Posted by Mandy on November 17th, 2007 filed in UncategorizedAs I was reading a post on muffins, I had to go running to my fridge in horror….
So. A recipe calls or 1/2 cup of melted butter, right? How many sticks is that?
Well, I can tell you that it is NOT two sticks. Which I have been using for the last few recipes. because in my haste to bake stuff with a cranky kiddo in the background, I read “1 stick = 8 Tbsp = 1/4 lb = 1/2 cup” as “1 stick = 8 Tbsp = 1/4 cup = 1/2 lb”. GAAAAHHHH!

Mandy,
I also experience baking troubles with butter. When the recipe calls for melted butter, I have been known to add it into the rest of the mixture, still warm from melting, thus cooking the eggs in the bowl. EW!

Ms. Leins, is this you?!?! It’s me, Jordan, from your Latin II class last year! i was hoping to find you, so i googled you on a whim…all of us back at school really miss you, especially with the year of latin we’re having now…which is a wreck. Anyway, we all miss you and want to say hi, so send me an email if you have the time. Jack is adorable, congratulations!
