It’s here!

its-here

My lovely kitchen scale is here, and I love it. It doesn’t take up much space at all, the display is easy to read, and it couldn’t be easier to use. The tare function works beautifully and switching between grams, pounds and ounces is no problem at all. And I will admit, I have been geeking out a little with it. :)

So far I have learned that 2 ounces of shaved ham is a lot more than I thought, which bodes well for my ham sandwiches, and (with some help from MasterCook) that 1/2 cup of my chicken salad is 256 calories. (And worth every one of them in my mind.) And that the croissants I get at the market run 375 calories a pop. (I had four of them, weighed them all together, discovered they are 3.265 ounces on average.) Yes, I am a bit of a dork. But a happy dork.

Oh, and as a complete aside, Picasa3 now has a built in watermark function – much easier than having to use a separate piece of software for it.
