Smidgen, Pinch and Dash measuring spoons
This one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year- a set of 3 measuring spoons labeled "Smidgen, Pinch, and Dash." I did a little research and found out that traditionally a dash is 1/8 teaspoon, a pinch is 1/16 t, and a smidgen is 1/32 of a teaspoon. Do you think our grandmothers knew that?
Here's an Amazon link, if you've got to have a set of your own!!! Bear in mind, I would make a big fat honkin' dime if you were to buy them through this link, so obviously the promise of riches could be clouding my judgement...

Around my family, I think a pinch was bigger than that, anyway...

Yeah, you and I both know if we had to move our ktichens would be the most worstest rooms to go. Nothing fits in any box.
That's why I say, sit down.

I got a big set of measuring spoons that had those. Up until that point, I didn't know those were real.
