Four teaspoons isn’t very much though. Most oils and fats are about 60 calories per teaspoon, which would only be about 240 to 260 for the amount listed on the jar.


To be truly authentic, the time should be in Roman numerals.


When that size system first started being used, size zero would have been for a newborn infant. Actually, size 0 didn’t even exist then.


The size range of most adult women’s clothes was once referred to as “misses” sizes, as in “young misses”. So a size 12 (before vanity sizing existed) was actually intended to fit an average 12 year old and the size numbers referred to the approximate age of teen that could be usually be expected to wear it. There was no size 0 back then, misses clothing usually went from 12 up to 20, although the range sometimes started at 10. After that, a woman moved into “woman’s” sizing and the next number up was 40.
“Vanity” sizing started to appear in about the mid 80s and every manufacturer had their own idea of what a size 12 was supposed to be. This is when I first noticed that off the rack sizes no longer matched up with sewing pattern sizes.
Here’s an example of a sewing pattern size chart from the 1950s. All the pattern companies used standard sizing, with minor variations.

Honey and condensed milk? I guess a starving artist can use the pastels for food if the artwork doesn’t sell.
As near as I can tell from social media, many devout MAGAts are far from rich. Old and conservative yes, but always voting against their own best interests.


I could almost believe this was satire, published in The Onion or The Beaverton. We live in strange times.


Not going to lie, I would buy outdated software for my ancient Mac if I could find it anywhere.
Fun fact, Henry Ford wanted to use them on his cars, but tried to screw Robertson in the deal. His petulance is the reason that Americans can’t benefit from this perfect design.
A square screw is a Robinson, fyi.


There is/ maybe still is a pub in Calgary that was once a funeral home.


So, if a person needed the services of one of these teams, how would they get in touch? Asking for a friend…
“Sure, we’ll do all this on one condition - that we get invited to your orgy”.


Bees have been domesticated for over 1000 years. There is no need to trap wild ones.
Teaspoon is abbreviated to “tsp”, tablespoon is “tbsp”.
