I sketched on the porch in my large "home" sketchbook. I usually get 6 sketches to a page. I just did two quick ones this morning with a Prismacolor 01 fine line pen/marker.
Number 3, pretty lidded container - a blue and white butter dish from Mexico
When we were in Angel Fire, I actually baked a couple of gluten free carrot cakes. Well, I didn't have a mixer or chopper so I made them with canned pumpkin. The taste is about the same. Anyway, back to my story. I grabbed the measuring spoons. The regular recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of baking soda and I usually add some baking powder because I use less oil. It seems to help the texture, especially when gluten free. I put in two teaspoons of baking soda and reached for the 1/2 teaspoon for the baking powder.
It felt rather large, what??? I looked at the 1 teaspoon again to make sure that was what I used. I did a couple of looks before I realized that the measuring spoons had an extra spoon - 1/2 tablespoon. Huh? That would be 1 1/2 teaspoons. I wonder where the spoons came from in the rental house? I do not recall any recipe that calls for 1/2 tablespoon of anything. That would be 1 1/2 teaspoons. Very strange........... Maybe a European thing??? Here is a photo....

Unusual spoon set. That can throw off your recipe a bit. lol
Joan, Lol is right. Could have been a mess if I hadn't noticed!
could be Canadian spoons, doesn't seem odd to me to have that in the set lol
Jennifer Rose, interesting. We spent a lot of time in Canada, guess I never cooked there!
I enjoyed the cake you baked for us. In fact, I could use that recipe sometime.
Bag Blog, I forgot to give you the recipe. Too hard to type here, from the computer I will send it. :)
Maybe our set was from somewhere else, no idea lol :)
Jennifer Rose, maybe they are from someplace else! Odd spoons.
