Christmas Wish


"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." ~Buddy the Elf

My Christmas wish this year is for someone to find me a set of measuring cups or spoons made in USA. That special someone doesn't have to buy them for me--just tell me where I can find such items. Material type unimportant. Cost is no object. They just have to be semi-normal measuring cups or spoons. Not the gaudy ones "as seen on Paula Deen" on Amazon. Mission IMPOSSIBLE.

Ack! I guess I should have been more specific. I'm looking for dry measuring cups. The ones with 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 cups. I love my Pyrex liquid measuring cups though. I used Bri's site in my research over the weekend and came up with nothing. I've concluded it doesn't exist. Even All-Clad has theirs made overseas. (best price at W-S, btw)

Williams-Sonoma has a better selection of made in USA than most stores. The commercial baking pans are awesome. I love my commercial half sheet and bought a cookie sheet yesterday.

Darn it! I'll do some more looking tomorrow -
