If you get interrupted while in the middle of measuring out an ingredient (phone, child, pet, spouse, etc.), place the measuring spoon/cup at the "hour clock position" you were interrupted at. For example, if you were on your third cup of flour, place the handle of the measuring cup pointing at where three o'clock would be on an imaginary clock. (I don't use this tip quite as often as I used to. Thanks to KAF, I weigh most of my ingredients!) That's definitely more ingenious that what I would do. I would spread out some flour and "write" the number in it. With your way, there is no mess to clean up. Thanks for sharing! ~ MaryJane
