Your previous method - chop a pile of onions - throw them in the pot - go to the next ingredient. New method - chop a pile of onions - weigh them - throw them in the pot - go to the next ingredient.
Is it really that much more difficult?
Do you have a suggestion for a scale that is handy to use and read, and can handle large amounts, or large items, etc?
I got one...but isn't really suited for weighing larger foods, etc....
Seems a stupid test on just its premise alone.
I don't get why anything would ever need to pass such a test or why anyone would care?
It's not that hard, just weigh everything as you are putting it in. Chances are you are using the same ingredients over and over and all you need is a list of the calories, fat, carbs in those ingredients and with how much is in a pot and how much you consume, it should not be hard to figure out. This is slashdot so I assume we can all do basic math.
That's the thing, I really do NOT use the same ingredients over and over.
I get a weekly CSA box of whatever local veggies are in season delivered to my house each Sunday. I also look in the weekly grocery store ads to see what's on sale, and drive around Sat or Sun morning to 2-4 stores to get the sale items and make up what I'm gonna cook with them on the fly.
I rarely consult a cooking book and taste and adjust dishes as I am cooking them.
Stopping and weighing everything, whew..that would sure slow down and stop the creative cooking process. I've cooked so long all these years, I can make things up on the fly pretty much....and rarely does my same dish (even something simple like chili) come out exactly the same twice in a row.
Sure I could figure it out...but that would sure take up a lot of cooking time. I try to do most of my grocery shopping for the week and cooking on Sundays....so I shop (sometimes on Sat instead)..but I cook 2-3 different main dishes and maybe 2-3 different side dishes or ingredients for side dishes (say a bunch of grilled mixed veggies I find while at the store)...and will put those in to various dishes I whip up quickly during the weekdays.
Sure it can be done..but there is no quick convenient way for me to actually know what I'm eating per portion or what a portion should be. I just eat till I'm full as it is....
Don't like free shit? Don't use it, You should be complaining about that goddamn Blender program while you are at it. Y'all are just proving that in the new Slashdot, you can't give something away without most of ya bitching about it.
I don't think it is a matter of anyone complaining about anything being FREE so much as people complaining about the rules and restraints associated with it.
Blender being open source and free to use for most anything, even commercial, vs the Pixar product that is "free", but only if you don't try to make any money with any creations YOU make from it.
It helps greatly if you are willing to eat similar foods day to day that are easy to track
THIS is my problem. I tend to rarely eat pre-packaged processed food, or simple things. I cook from scratch, large batches of things, to eat as leftovers for most of the week.
Let's say since greens are in season now, I cook a HUGE 6-7QT pot of greens, Basically the only fat in the thing is 1lb of Andouille sausage. This pot will easily be 6-10 portions/meals. Granted this is a simple dish with few ingredients, but what about the same size pot of mushroom chili? Or something else that is complex and has a lot of ingredients and I don't really know how many meals will come put of it, or maybe it is something I'd combine with other leftovers into a different dish, for example I might grill out a bunch of eggplant, onions and zucchini...I might eat some in a salad, or maybe some as a wrap with yogurt sauce..etc.
The thing is...I rarely cook anything simple with an easy to find and read ingredients list, It would take forever to figure what the calories and all were from what I cook since so much of it is fresh vegetable and meat based, etc.
I dunno what a portion would be in so many cases...although it is largely healthy food.
There are other programs out there. You might not like the price.
I believe Blender is still free.
And, if you don't mind renting your software and do the Adobe CC thing, After Effects includes Cinema 4D Lite which is pretty powerful and included in the price.
When the MPs roll by on their routine patrols
What are "MPs"?
Renee Russo and Jason Alexander, right?
No, God no...the original series.
Boy are you old
:-) Almost as old as me. I will bet a lot of folks on this forum have no idea what you are refering to.
Nothing up the sleeve........*PRESTO*

Not sure about a homicide, but there have been plenty of instances of people being accosted for using cameras or smartphones to take photos of kids. In many of these instances, the people accused were actually the fathers of the kids in question, but the accusers assumed the worst because Male Taking Photo Of Child = Pervert but Female Taking Photo Of Child = Loving Mother.
Wow, this is like the 3rd reference I've seen of this on this thread.
Is this something people are truly uptight about out there? People actually go and assault people with cameras? What part(s) of the US is this such a problem?
I've just never heard of such a thing, nor of people even noticing someone with a camera, much less getting upset if someone is using it in a public place.
So they have put it in charge of the guy from Nest, who pretty much is running the ship in such a way as to guarantee Google gets analytics about your household.
If they only wanted that, then the best thing they could do is get that household info from Acxiom
Why not do away with English class after the students have gotten to the point that they can write a good paper and require that students write more papers for other classes like science.
The trouble is...in HS and below, we pretty much no longer fail or hold kids back if they don't learn their subjects. There is a reason so many colleges have so many remedial classes for incoming freshmen...English being one of them.
The lack of skills of many incoming Freshmen is atrocious.
No cell phones meant your parents couldn't track you, and Lordy....I'd have long lost a car if they'd not only tracked me but monitored my speed. UGH!!
At least we were free to be kids back then, and learn from our actions, sure there were some bad times and consequences, but that's a part of growing up!!
So glad there wasn't a fucking camera EVERYWHERE I went as a kid and a teen....
