Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Although it sometimes seemed that Grandma didn't measure ingredients, she often did so in unusual ways. Grandma used the soup cans to measure the milk: She found that 21/2 cups milk is 20 ounces, or 2 scant soup cans of milk. She poured milk into the cans to within about 1/2 inch of the top of the can, and the bonus was that the milk rinsed the last bit of soup from inside the can.
