Kitchen Scales
“Tipping the Balance for Kitchen Scales.” Nice little article there in favour of recipes using weights instead of volume measures. We’ve had a digital scale in the kitchen for years (the Snook needs one for homebrewing), but the one we had was small and the button was fiddly. I bought a new one at Costco a month ago and it’s AWESOME. I use it every single morning to pour out 150g of egg whites for our breakfast, and I used it this past weekend to portion out 100g patties of my homemade breakfast sausage. I will never be without a good scale in my kitchen again!

@miftik Thanks! Heartbreaker Fashion: http://t.co/wNv511Q π
@witty_knitter You know the rule. Where’s the photo?
@witty_knitter Sorry, was at the gym! You look awesome! Like a wood sprite. π The green & orange works surprisingly well…
@dancingman Hahaha, before I even clicked on it, I thought: “I bet it’s another damn clarinet.” π
@zephyrama Sydney CBD? Or Newcastle?
@lemon_lime Hahaha, you cheaterhead! On GoogleReader you said you got 1500. π
@drkknits @witty_knitter I randomly got followed by Wynstan with a Y (from the advert for blinds). Favorite follower EVER.
@drkknits @witty_knitter Also, a Sydney-based swingers club. Rodd’s like, “WHAT WERE YOU TWEETING ABOUT?!” No idea.
@AusVintageGrrl What the heck is a “dry knit”?
@zephyrama You need to get yourself over to Surry Hills to Tessuti’s! That’s my fave. There’s a new one in Chippo too: fabricmuse.com.au
@drkknits Hahaha… Today I came into possession – randomly – of Shannon Ponton’s email address. π
@drkknits I’m very big on the Internet.
@drkknits Hot pink tights are probably some sort of coded signal! No wonder they’re after me.
RT @brown_note: The Cult of Done Manifseto http://t.co/2Qiowz5S #pmot #baot // I’m a huge fan of this too. Perfect is the enemy of good!
@witty_knitter @Tash2point0 Love it. So much cleverer than a wonky piece of badly knitted garter stitch wrapped on a pole.

@imdominating SWEEET! I figured they’d get there soon. Do they fit? They will keep you toasty come winter time!
Mmmm, just had my first ever bite of moon cake! Thanks Fei…
Heading to Surry Hills to meet @knitterjp and collect my long-awaited coloured tights. MY LEGS SHALL BE MUNDANE NO MORE! (cc @Opheli8)
@Opheli8 Coloured tight solidarity, of course.
@zephyrama Awesome! Are the kitchen walls blue yet? Your hands? It’ll happen. π
So many knitters I know need this: http://t.co/znzhaIZ
@VenessaHunt I have successfully managed to deter @kunaal84 from it 2 days now with a container full of nuts. Such unhealthy people!
RT @guardian: How well do you know Roald Dahl? Test … with this quiz: http://t.co/HOPnI5R // 10-10! But then, I made roalddahlfans.com. π
Loving my new tights from @welovecolors! First ever that are actually long enough. Now just need bravery enough to wear hot pink in public.
@toastman Yes. But she got all skinny and lollipop-head, so I can’t take her seriously as a chef. Sophie, that is.
Look at this effing hipster. (It’s not a camera. It’s an iPhone cover. SO AWESOME.) http://t.co/5EIUeu4
@witty_knitter I got fuchsia, teal, burnt orange, black. But what to wear them with?? I need a stylist! Paging @mrs_sockvictim…
@toastman I did like that she did the voices they used on the official website. She made a good Miss Honey.
@VenessaHunt Hard to say. I am of jealous sort, so probably pissed. Snook, not so much. I hang out with dudes all the time, right @kunaal84?
@witty_knitter SMH says we should clash to be in style: http://t.co/SEo6fM1
@redambition Ahem. Why did you see fit to remind ME of that and not, say, @witty_knitter? What am I, the Lindsay Lohan of Knitting Guild?!
@drkknits Whoever we are, we’re probably the Mean Girls. Maybe I can make “fetch” happen…
@drkknits I will tomorrow, when I post a pic of me in my TOTES FETCH tights. π
@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Noooo. I have caved to fashion on the colored tights issue, but I will fight formal shorts TO THE DEATH.
@witty_knitter You totally made me throw up in my mouth a little there. I do not envy your proximity to uni student fashion.
Sunny, with periodic outbreaks of the 1960’s… http://t.co/3HFRmGz
That was a pic of me in my new hot pink tights, in case you missed it.
@zephyrama Figured I couldn’t mess up too badly with a black wiggle dress. Actual colour coordination is probably beyond me…
@zephyrama It is! I got the XL, but I think next time I’ll just get the L. Should order again from them while the dollar is still good… π
@Anthony_Mills Congrats on finding a place! Kogarah, huh? Is that far? (10 yrs in Sydney & I still have no clue. Comes of not having a car.)
