Amazon has a 4 for 3 deal going on in kitchen stuff. I'm buying 3 other items as gifts. What 4th item do I buy now to get for free? -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 12:51 53
- A really nice set of metal measuring cups or measuring spoons on a ring. - Trish Dec 3, 13:07 19
  - hate the spoons on a ring. hate. - tRuMaN Dec 3, 13:13 18
    - Whatever for? - Trish Dec 3, 13:16 9
      - a. you have to wash all of them when only one is dirty. b. the unused ones can be a hinderence when trying to measure or pour. - tRuMaN Dec 3, 13:21 8
        
        a. you wash the one you used and just rinse the rest b. a bigger ring alleviates that problem - Trish Dec 3, 13:23 7
        
        its ok for you to be wrong, just admit it. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 3, 13:24 6
        
        I cook and bake *a lot*. I am inseparable from my vastly superior measuring spoons. - Trish Dec 3, 13:28 5
        
        wait wait wait....you mean you make Crash bake and cook a lot! - Remlik Dec 3, 13:29 3
        
        Crash cooks (and bakes) when he wants to. I don't have to *make* him do anything. - Trish Dec 3, 13:34

        what does good have to do with them being stuck on a ring? - tRuMaN Dec 3, 13:19 5
        
        Clearly we will simply have to disagree on this one. - Trish Dec 3, 13:26 3
        
        most monkeys like more refined utensels, not something cobbled together but - tRuMaN Dec 3, 13:28 2
        
        I think you're missing the words "a good set". Cheapies come on a tiny ring, are difficult to use and prone to rust. - Trish Dec 3, 13:32 1

      - I am so with you on this. I'm sick to death of people using foam. - Kim Pine Dec 3, 13:08 2
        
        TCAS spoils - crash davis Dec 3, 13:12
        
        Totally gross, but you are correct. -- nm - Trish Dec 3, 13:10

  - heh. I bought a coffee grinder just for spices. -- nm - decline Dec 3, 12:53 4
    - ditto. it's no fun finding out you have habanero coffee because you did not clean it well enough -- nm - peglegpete Dec 3, 12:55 3
      - if you use it for weed, on the other hand, it makes the best. coffee. ever. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 13:15
      - Habaneros are a little large for a coffee grinder, no? - Trish Dec 3, 13:13 1
        
        not really. they are only the size of a key lime. I've never had a problem with them in my grinder -- nm - peglegpete Dec 3, 13:24

        why does he hate the planet? -- nm - loosilu Dec 3, 13:12 1
        
        he likes getting paid 2x week -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 3, 13:25
    - Uh, you mean *does not* cut so short? -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 12:55
