I'll probably use this blog for meaningless drivel, so you can find more out about me.
So I was home today, due to the weather, and decided to do some cooking. I had this recipe for a great dessert.
I started getting out the ingredients, and came up with this amazing plan.
In my cupboard I have 20 some little tiny plastic containers (some people call it Tupperware, but that would be a trademark violation). I never use them. They came with sets of other, more useful containers. But I hate to throw them away.
I finally figured out what they were good for. Holding ingredients!
I measured everything out, and put them in these containers and set them on the counter. Then, when I went to start cooking, I wasn't futzing around measuring stuff on the go. I also didn't have a million soup bowls with ingredients in them.
Having everything measured out is pretty important when you're doing things like melting sugar, heating up butter, or doing stuff to specific times. This made it really easy, and didn't leave me with a ton of larger containers to clean. It also allowed me to mix all the spices (teaspoon of this, tablespoon of that) into one container.
So that's probably enough muttering, I just wanted to share that with anyone who thought it was interesting.
