  • If I was writing a fanfic sequel to the old testament I would call it the new testament and say that Judas was paid 30 silver.

    It makes me think of how Mormons will point to such connections between the Book of Mormon and the Bible as proof. You’d expect such connections both if it was what the faithful narrative claims it to be or if it was a creation pulled from a hat that was attempting to reference what came before.



  • Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease?

    You can make pizza with cheese and fat containing toppings that doesn’t have so much of those ingredients that the fat is soaking through the crust into the bottom of the box or (probably more commonly) is draining off the top of the pizza onto the box. I think we may be running up against different ideas of what it means to declare a food greasy.




  • BUT I have read in the past that it has some smelling problem which the manufacturer were not able to get rid of.

    I know this is quite a bit of a long time to come back to a thread (someone posted a new comment so it has pulled me back) but I find there is a bit of a coffee odor retained even after washing. Nothing rancid or anything but you can tell it gets used as a coffee mug. I find the main culprit is the gasket on the lid. but I’ve found that if I want to make the effort a soak in baking soda water eliminates it but I find when it is full of coffee any new coffee scents aren’t being harmed by the lingering coffee smell. I may just not be very sensitive to such things though.









  • 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.
