Wait, so that means you don't *think* in the metric system, but rather in your feet and inches? Even when you work with the centimeters and their friends?

That's strange. I can't imagine working in units if I don't have a good intuition regarding their sizes.

Some folks here *can* think in metric, but most of us can't. We convert back and forth all the time!

Someone once commented that if the US ever converts to the metric system the only people who'll be comfortable with it will be scientists and drug dealers.

I continue to be bummed out by the tomato thing -- my "chef's salad" today is only lettuce and meat.

lisah, the kitchen is amazing!

Jesse, I've been cutting up cherry tomatoes and putting them in everything they're being left out of. Fast food burger? Takes about 3. Buggers are trickier to slice, but...

I just keep forgetting. I was getting all riled up to call Au Bon Pain headquarters to complain, before I remembered. At least the local-chain I was at the other night gave me tomatoes on my sandwich.

Freshdirect wouldn't even let me order regular tomatoes this week, even though NY, NJ and just about anywhere else my tomatoes might come from are all on the FDA's "safe" list. Feh.

Jeez, really?

Nope, they're currently only offering cherry, grape, and vine-on. (And when I was ordering yesterday, they had run out of both grape and vine-on.)

I can think in the metric system for small quantities, like the sizes we dealt with in science classes, but not for bigger quantities.

I woke up achy all over. My back, my shoulders, my arms, my neck, and achy. Must have slept funny or something.

I has tomatoes.

I went to the public market and bought directly from a farmer, though.

I cannot think in the metric system at all, which is sort of a pain because I think it would be easier to adjust sewing patterns if things were divisible by 10. But I am really good at dividing 1/4's of inches.
