-> I got a straight metric scale whle we were in Germany; it didn't go into
-> small gram amounts but was good for general cooking use.  The one we
-> have now is better for measuring really small amounts of stuff; the fact
-> that it's dual is an extra nice feature.
-> 
It converts for you - gotta love that.

-> 
-> -> Hard to tell, most everything else is pretty precise.
-> 
-> Could be, my mom has one of my dad's mom's recipes that calls for 5
-> cents worth of hartshorn.  OK, did the amount increase or decrease since
-> the recipe was written?
-> 
That one was definitely an oddball.  First we had to figure out what
hartshorn was.
 
-> -> I know, but I have both a dish washer and Steve to help me on that.
-> 
->  RH> I have the dishwasher, but still hate the thing.
-> 
-> It can be a pain at times but it does make short work of some things.
-> 
Mine can't be trusted to do things like grind raisins; we found that out
the hard way.  Much better to throw them through a hand-cranked meat
grinder.
 
-> -> We'll be holding on to the lion's share of these books.
-> 
->  RH> Oh dear.  Another one of those.
-> 
-> Yes, we've always had a good bit of our weight allowance in books.

Of course.  I need to offload a few hundred myself at some point.

Good idea.  I just finished something whose purpose I don't know yet. 
Might be for a baby, might not.

->  RH> I've found little diamonds dirt cheap...didn't sell for much more.
->  RH> I've found gold occasionally however, and some of it has sold for

-> 
-> Every bit helps.  I'd look for rubies as well, especially in gold

-> 
Me too!  I've found a few red rhinestones, but that's about all.  
 
-> ->  RH> idjut rolled it up like a poster and now I'm afraid to try and

If it were in better condition; it's got paper losses, stains, etc.
