Someone once commented that if the U.S. ever went metric the only people who'd be familiar with the measurements were scientists and drug dealers.
And obsessive bakers!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

You can make castor sugar by whirring regular sugar in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds or so.
The oven thing is just impossible to translate or understand. That's my position anyway.

Well, it's not like I'm going to actually make anything they did on the show ... I just want to know. Thanks for the explanations (but I do remember seeing superfine sugar - which I assume would be castor sugar - in the store).

I was furious for a while, in a way I wouldn't have been if either of them had won, but then I realized I don't actually care and Manila is the winner of my heart anyway.

A series that recently started on PBS is good - Museum Secrets. The first, on the Louvre, spent a good deal of time on when the Mona Lisa was stolen. However, the one I found more interesting was on the Ontario museum - they had built a new dinosaur exhibit and wanted a really, really big dinosaur to anchor it. So the man in charge went off to another museum to see if they could borrow one of theirs ... but on the plane he was reading a story about how his museum HAD a dinosaur, a big one - the story even had the accession number. So he went back, checked it out and found out that they did, indeed, have a huge dinosaur ... but it was lost. It had been taken down, disassembled and put into storage years before ... and the bits and pieces had been moved around, so he didn't find all the bones in one space (as of the filming they were still looking). Turns out they had one of the rarest dinosaur skeletons ... and it's been named Gordo and is a major feature in the exhibit.

Was anyone going to tell me that Big Brother starts THIS Tuesday?? And then CBS is also having a five-night-a-week dating (??) show??

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
"You didn't see it coming but I have to tell you, in Utah, you have the majesty of the mountains, the Mormon religion, an exclusive community of people who have very successful businesses who live in their own universe," said Cohen, who serves as executive producer of the franchise. "It is gorgeous and I think you're going to be really surprised and intrigued by the group of women we've found."The group of women on the show wasn't announced, but Bravo said on Instagram the series will offer "High hopes. High altitudes. High drama."
