how to measure drops, pinches and dashes
In perhaps my most persnickety tip yet, did you know that when a recipe calls for a drop, pinch or dash of an ingredient, this can be translated into an actual measurement? 60 drops yields one teaspoon, 1 dash is equal to 1/16 of a teaspoon and 1 pinch is 1/8 of a teaspoon. Now, try to get your head around the fact that someone, somewhere actually took the time to measure these things out.
You know, i have to tell you, i really enjoy this site and teh insight from everyone who participates. i find it to be refreshing and very informative. i wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, i felt it was about time i posted, I
