But would Ogden Nash have liked it?

Looks like cookies have dominated the blog lately. Well, cookies dominate my life sometimes, like this coming weekend, which is our annual holiday cookie-baking extravaganza. That’s when even we don’t have enough measuring cups to go around.

And speaking of measuring, I came across a recipe on the internet with this direction:

Roll out to a thickness of about 5 mm, and cut into 3" triangles.

Excuse me? Wouldn't that be 8 cm triangles? Or 1/4" thickness? Pick one or the other and stick with it.

There should be a name for that. How about mixed metric-phor?
