And here's the other...
Cute right? The package also included a semi-personalized card with a phone number, contact info and an offer to help with the ingredients I had bought. The store owner's business card was in there too. In case you were wondering, Mr. Andersen's card weighed in at 1.47 grams.
The sharpie on the counter was a hefty 8.60 grams.
If I could find my little 10 gram calibration weight, I could check the scale. But that little weight has been AWOL since the kitchen counter project started. I could tell you exactly where it was last January. I'm not sure what day, but sometime this week I'm trying out the easier mac & cheese recipe. I've got some traveling this week, not sure I'll get the pizza dough in. That requires a stop at All Star where I will get to ask a wine guy another weird question. Last time it was, "I'm looking for an inexpensive white to use in a dry cured Italian salami." This time is will be, "I'm looking for an inexpensive sparkling white or champagne to use in a yeast-free pizza dough." If they had a nickel for every time they got asked that...
A nickel weighs exactly 5 grams. You can use that to calibrate.

JP - That makes way too much sense so I had to give it a try. Two older nickels consistently weighed in at 4.95 grams. A newer nickel lost a little weight and weighed in at 4.90 grams. I think they are trying to save a little bit on material. Anyhow, that should be close enough for my kitchen disasters.
