Who tf puts sugar in a cup
someone baking cookies on a recipe that calls for a cup of sugar
Like a small cup or a big cup? I’d rather just use my scale, it’s important to be accurate when baking
A neighbor who’s “borrowing” a specific amount of sugar for a recipe.
Why not? You prefer bottles? Sacks? Shovels? Cat asses? Hats?
“You want some cream?”
“Uh… Yeah.”
