Yes, and she taught me very well
I use both scales and cups these days. The scale appeared in my kitchen
when I started to get serious about bread baking a few years ago. Though
I am able to please my "customers" using cups, I now prefer using a
scale; it's so much easier for me to weigh out the ingredients - esp.
when doing large holiday baking!
I also use my scale for mailing out all those holiday packages! It's so
much easier when the post office picks up my packages than having me
drive over there and wait in line (gives me more time to bake, too!)
