Much easier to walk into my department store and physically compare.

Yep. I know I'm much rather go try on shoes rather then play the ship and return it game over the course of multiple days. This also applies to things like furniture, appliances, cars, or other items where physical interaction communicates information that can't or isn't communicated in a product description.

Honestly, I don’t. Because I make them better.

That is the situation in my household. My wife is one of those people who goes overboard on the primary filling and throws the proportions off. It isn't Katz's deli levels but it is noticeable.

I assume this playlist was put together for all the unionsexuals out there.

(You don’t have non-drivers in the US?)

A non-driver would get a state issued ID card which contains all the same personally identifying information but instead of being both a license to drive and proof of ID it is just proof of ID. The ubiquity of driving here leads a lot of people to use "driver's license" when they mean "state issued picture ID" since it is a form of state issued picture ID so many have but it is not the only one available.

Oh, I agree. If I use a recipe regularly I'll often convert it or if I'm creating one from scratch I'll usually just have everything by weight from get go.

P.S. Nothing makes me annoyed at a recipe faster than seeing something like 2.5 cups of chopped broccoli.

You're welcome. A nice resource for a bunch of other ingredients for baking is this one from King Arthur Flour.

1 tablespoon of butter is ~14 g. For a more complete conversion (with respect to butter): 1 stick = 0.5 cup = 8 tablespoons = 24 teaspoons = 113 g.

A cup in US Customary is 237 ml (often rounded to 240 ml). Americans don't exist in a world where they have to play "is this cup US Customary or different measure also calling itself a cup measure?" as all their measuring cups are going to be in US Customary. Butter usually comes in quarter pound sticks with teaspoon (4.9 ml) and tablespoon (14.8 ml) measures printed on the wrapper so you can just cut a hunk of the appropriate volume from the stick and if you were using a measuring spoon to measure butter you'd use a level measure to create consistency and not just let it heap up.

Note: I prefer weighing ingredients and in metric at that. I'm just answering your questions.

I do it for every grinder. Minimal retention = less cleaning.

Yep. Those mornings I forget to introduce a bit of water I always kick myself because now I'm fussing with a brush for three times as long to get my manual grinder clean.

No. I'm saying if someone doesn't think the order matters or signifies anything of importance then there is no wrong way to do it, there is no right way to do it, there are just ways to do it (of which I mentioned a couple)... because the order doesn't matter.

So if you send email to the owner of the compane and to your colleagues on same level you put boss at last spot if they come to your mind as last?

Sure, why not? I think the disconnect is the people who think it is silly don't attach any importance to the order. So asking, "Would you put the most important person last?" is a non-starter as the thinking is that the CC field ends up as a list is an artifact of how email works and isn't imbued with a sense of ordering or ranking of importance. The ordering of the list could be a indicative of who came to mind first, how your email contacts are ordered, or even how a policy is written but not indicative of who you think is most important or senior.
