Illustration Friday : Scale

Correct use of a scale is VERY important when cooking and baking...
I find digital scales quite unreliable, and the one I have only measures in units of 25g.
So what do I do if I need 40g or 85g!?

But actually, the most confusing thing about cooking from various recipe books is that a "cup" means different things in different countries... A US cup vs an Australian cup vs a Japanese cup. Luckily UK recipes hardly ever refer to ingredients in "cup"s...

My picture this week is painted - am experimenting with different styles.
