[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Barb, I have a couple of ideas that might work for you. You could try 
using a regular measuring cup that you would use in your kitchen. They do 
have 1/4 size measuring cups even though they are normally used to measure 
dry ingrediences in a recipe. Since I can't read the numbers on the liquid 
measuring cups, I preffer to use the ones that are designed to measure dry 
ingrediences instead since that's close enough to not mess up a recipe. I 
use dry powdered soap which has its own cup. I have used the liquid stuff in 
the past but I like the dry stuff better. When I did use the liquid stuff, I 
used the lid like a measuring cup and when the lid was full, I called it 
good. If you don't want to use a measuring cup, try using the lid as a 
guide. It actually works pretty good. Even sited people will use the lids to 
those bottles when they can. I hope that my ideas will help you!
