Same size containers? Most people keep salt in a smaller container since you use less of it and buy it in smaller quantities.

Take a good look at it next time. They actually look a little bit different.

Well, they do have a different textures and taste.... you could have tested for what was what.

measure 1/2 cup of that.

dumbass.

actually it is far more likely to mean take the measurement given, and sift that.

a food processor will work as well...i usually just use a whisk in a bowl. the idea is to aerate the flour and remove and clumps.

No it does not. You sift flower before measure to help get a more even measurement of the flower, as well as separate the flower to help prevent clumping.
Pre-sifted flower still needs to be re-sifted when used.
Weight is a better way to measure flower.
The best cooks in history has traditionally been men.
There is nothing unmanly about being the baker man.

Every man should be at least a competent cook. It is an essential life skill.

Actually it all depends on how its worded in the recipe. If the recipe says 1/2C sifted flour, then you sift flour and measure 1/2C of that. If it says 1/2C flour sifted, then you do a normal 1/2C measurement of flour and sift that (use all that is sifted).

Fixed.

I've only ever come across one girl who has laughed at my penchant for cooking and baking (she has a tendancy not to keep many friends). A guy here or there has as well, but they usually can't cook themselves.

The typical response is usually "wtf, where's my piece!" The only part that sucks is cost on some of the things. It gets pricey when recipes start calling for $20+ bottles of liquour

I have to thank my mom for all those hours she made me spend in the kitchen growing up. All us boys were required to help cook once we could walk. My sister flat out refused to help in the kitchen. Now all three of us boys can cook great, she still can't boil water.

It's funny how gender roles, traditional gender roles can cause rebelliousness in the family. Prime case described above. Of course, I have to think you are overstating this. She can't boil water? I wonder sometimes about women who have long fingernails, though. How can they function?

Yeah, I have wonder about that one. If in doubt, taste a few grains.

I used to cook all sorts of stuff, fancy things sometimes. I'd think nothing of spending an hour making dinner. I don't have the time or patience to get all that elaborate in the kitchen anymore. The food section of my newspaper has lots of complicated recipes and most of them don't interest me. I do more basic things now. My time is too important.

It means pack the flower in the measuring cup as much as you can I think
