I was wanting to buy a 3/4 teaspoon measuring spoon . . .


I've been needing to measure 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, often, when swapping out baking powder for baking soda/vinegar. 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda + 1 tablespoon vinegar = 1 tablespoon baking powder.

I searched around for a 3/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, and found a couple as part of odd-size measuring spoon sets. But I was reluctant to fork over my birthday money for one of these sets, just yet.


That's when it hit me. Maybe I already have a spoon that measures 3/4 teaspoon. Off to my kitchen I went, opened a drawer, began measuring the capacity of various spoons, and lo and behold, a Menchie's spoon measures 3/4 teaspoon. My new measuring spoon! Isn't that great?! An awesome find!

And I didn't have to buy a set to get one. Now I can get something much more fun with last year's birthday money!

just a note -- this only works well with a spoon with a level edge to the bowl. Many tableware patterns don't have this level edge (bummer).

Now -- there is something that I do need to buy. My daughters' sport socks are wearing really thin. I'll be looking to buy them new sports socks before Easter (hmmm, can you guess what the Easter bunny is bringing here?)
Do any of you have a recommendation for girl/women sport socks? I wasn't impressed with Hanes this last time around. I'm looking for durability in a crew sock and ankle sock. Thanks so much! You guys always know what's good.
