Recently I found myself with all of the ingredients but none of the utensils. Read on to see how my educated brain dealt with this!
I had a cough-medicine cup-thingy and a glass.
I just measured flour into the glass 2 teaspoons at a time and marked off the following intervals:
12 teaspoons = 1/4 cup
16 teaspoons = 1/3 cup
24 teaspoons = 1/2 cup
32 teaspoons = 2/3 cup
36 teaspoons = 3/4 cup
48 teaspoons = 1 cup
Homemade measuring cup! I'll just use the cough-medicine-thingy for the little stuff, remembering that
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon.
Brilliant!
Update (Dec. 14th):
I lost the cough-medicine-thingy. Now I have two left, but they're in milliliters. And the markings on the cup weren't "permanent" enough. Here we go again.
236.588 mL = 1 cup
177.4 mL = 3/4 cup
157.7 mL = 2/3 cup
118.3 mL = 1/2 cup
78.8 mL = 1/3 cup
59.15 mL = 1/4 cup
4.9 mL = 1 teaspoon
14.8 mL = 1 tablespoon

From my 52 yrs. of cooking and if you read the front of any cookbook it says that 2 teaspoons equal one tablespoon. Need to hone up on your math! See you in a few days. love, Gr. C
But Grandma, the internet says 3!
