A recent hunting and gathering expedition at a car boot sale (known as a flea market in North America and second hand market in Melbourne, Australia) uncovered a fantastic measuring cup. This measuring cup is like no other. Useful as a measuring cup first and foremost but due to its shape you can measure out the ingredients for sauces and dressings and mix it up all in one cup...no need to transfer into a larger bowl for whisking, which then translates into less washing up dishes and, for me, less laundry. I suspect that most people do not make mess when whisking sauces and dressings in a normal measuring cup. Alas, for me, whisking in a regular measuring cup, or a bowl for that matter, is a quite a hazard. My clothes are always in danger of being attacked by straying ingredients from thorough mixing (which others, namely my hubby, has described as over zealous and vigorous). My clothes often quickly resembles an abstract splatter artwork akin to that of a Jackson Pollock painting. This new measuring cup has been an emancipator for extra washing up and indeed a preserver of my clothes. However, an investment in one or perhaps two aprons may also be wise...hmm.
