For the love of Pyrex ...

I broke my liquid measuring cup.

It shattered into thousands of tiny bits and pieces.

All over the kitchen floor.

And why did it break? Because I was playing daredevil - how many clean dishes that were just handwashed can be stacked before they fall ... and the only piece that fell was my one and only liquid measuring cup.

It shouldn't upset me so much. Excepting that they measure ingredients here by weight.

I purchased some great dry measuring cups - metal Kitchenaid brand at Kohl's with my mom before leaving Ohio.

But I didn't think I'd really need more than one liquid Pyrex.

It's been indestructable up to now.

And now, I'll have to wait until next summer, when my sis and her fam come to visit to bring another one - it isn't exactly the type of thing you'd mail ...

I'm still sad though. I miss my Pyrex.
