I do not know why you all do not use metric measurements instead of imperial so much easier to use in every day life.I just remembered that US pints are smaller than ours -16 fl oz to our 20 fl oz
So a US quart is 32 fl oz and UK quart is 40 fl oz i have no idea what that is in metric
It caught me out the one and only time I used pint as a measurement. I just thought a pint would be a pint - but apparently not.

It's all part of the rich tapestry of life. Doesn't really make any difference as long as you maintain the same proportions and use the same system for everything in a recipe. Metric is easier, of course, but many of us come from the pre metric era and still think in imperial sizes - difficult for us oldies to visualise a litre or a kilo whereas a pint or a lb is easy. We'll learn eventually, just as most of us have about new/old money.
i think in all tnree. I've used a lot of US recipes so I've got a couple of sets of measuring cups and spoons, some recipes i was taught at school or by parents or that i use from some very elderly recipe books are in ounces and the more modern cook books are metric - I just switch between all three but stick to one type of measurement per recipe.
Breakfast: Usual cheese and mushroom omelette, bacon, tomatoes.
Lunch: Cheese on toast.
Dinner: Seafood marinara, small portion of reheated pasta.
Drinks: Black coffee, water.
Got my haircut for the first time since January, as the govt have relaxed the"Iso" rules she started up cutting mobile hair cutting again. Nice "nummawun" clipper cut keeps the head cool...
i'm not a hairdresser but i find it easy to do my husband's hair with clippers (on no. 2) its saved a fortune over the last 24 years.
i agree with you about needing little luxuries during the lockdown. I'm finding my food/wine Asda deliveries have gone up a little bit but I'm saving loads by not impulse buying at the weekends like I used to. Mr C estimates we're saving about £400 a month!! So, yes, my cheese treat habit is affordable.

FBG 8.5 but by breakfast, as usual it was 13.5.
Breakfast - 2 slices black pudding with 2 fried eggs and a slice of the Atkins crispbread.
Later today will have a pork chop with some fried cabbage.
I didn't have peas with my lamb chops last night. I know I have some frozen but I couldn't find them, so I just went without.
Have to sort out my order for the butcher today. I wonder if they have gammon - haven't seen any in there but maybe wasn't looking. Will be asking for more lamb's liver and kidneys. Maybe a lamb shank for some broth. Must also make that chicken soup today, before it goes off. Not feeling up to much today though. Started off well enough cleaning the kitchen and putting some lesser used things through the dishwasher. Gone downhill since then.
My little cheese treat which arrived today was 1kg Cornish Blue. I’d totally forgotten I’d ordered it!
Thanks for the US pints info by the way, it wouldn’t have occurred to me either. And Archie is an absolute star! What a fabulous dog.View attachment 41445
According to the web page, I don't have permission to view this attachment. Odd. Was it a picture of the dog, or the cheese?
Australia went fully metric in the early 1970's so it was a matter of having to get used to it, I can still remember our getting started instructions for the currency though which was on the ship coming out here, a tin of beer which was 1 shilling and 6 pence now costed 15 cents, a pint at 2 shillings was now 20 cents. and so on I think that kicked in when we left South Africa when we stopped there for the day.Metric is easier, of course, but many of us come from the pre metric era and still think in imperial sizes - difficult for us oldies to visualise a litre or a kilo whereas a pint or a lb is easy.
