You are not alone. Mine sometimes will eat eggs sometimes not other times when I bake chicken legs she will eat. Last week she decided she only likes the skin and not the meat part. I just make sure I cook some meat stew because at least she has not refused rice mixed with stew without the meat so I know the stew broth part has proteins. This morning she told her dad she wants eggs like hemad yesterday which was scrambled with tomatoes so yeah!! She only ate a few bites buts still good.

Also, do you measure or weigh your flour?  Weighing can help avoid last minute major adjustments.

I weigh but I'm starting to think my scale is faulty again. I've already taken it back and exchanged it once because if you left something on it every couple seconds it would gain a gram. I used it to measure our baby bird couple days ago and it weighed less after I fed it than before so I had to reset it and then it was a more accurate reading and when I was weighing my yeast for the bread yesterday I tipped what looked like a teaspoon in before it even registered I had added anything. When I get a chance I'm going to do some measuring and see what I find. Might be going back for a refund.

@appps it sounds like you might be better off just measuring and taking the scale back for a refund. At least your measuring cups and spoons won't be constantly changing volume on you. That would be frustrating!

X2 Sounds like those scales are a problem.

Even so, if you get some you trust, IMO easier to measure yeast with a measuring spoons and sugars with measuring cups. But I do love weighing flour, honey, molasses.

I don't recall where I got my scales - but they were about $30 and quite accurate, will research and post.

Very nice, bet they are tasty.

Here's the one I have - got it on KA's site and seems to be quite dependable and accurate: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/essential-digital-scale And looks like they have not increased the price. You can search other sources to compare pricing, but Amazon doesn't have it.

It can weigh up to 11 pounds. And accurate for small baking ingredient wts. Have had it about 2 years and have not yet had to replace the batteries. We tested it with know calibration weights for small measures and against traditional kitchen scales for larger produce and it is quite accurate. I use it not just for baking, but for measuring produce in canning.

I give it a 5 star rating.

@sunflour I have that same scale and a really big one. We used both in our store and you're right, the one you got is a good one. Very accurate.
