I like the bowl since I usually only weigh one ingredient. But I also think it's no big deal to have a separate scale (mine is cheap and fits even in my kitchen) so you can continue to measure after mixing.

It's a clever idea but I don't see it as being very practical. We use a kitchen scale a lot, easier to figure out carbs if you measure. That said my fairly cheap kitchen scale has a tare function as well. So we usually measure in whatever she's going to eat it out of. Using this would mean I'd have to wash it and whatever she ate out of.

Plus it says it's European so no ounces - then I'd have to do mental math and that just wouldn't be good.

However, if it were oven and dishwasher safe, you would have a single vessel for a meal from start to finish

Looking it up it was actually 13 pounds. Virgin Atlantic's limit for carry on luggage.

It really wasn't that hard, you just have to be willing to not take everything you might possibly need with you. Rome is a modern place, they have stores and everything. So you don't need to take an umbrella just because it might rain. You don't need to take 4 pairs of shoes.

If you're willing to handwash clothes in your room at night (and by clothes that will dry quickly) you really only need a couple sets. If I recall correctly I packed two shirts, two t-shirts, three pairs of socks, one pairs of shoes, one light jacket, my camera gear (which I believe ended up being about 5 of my 13 pounds), the guide book we were using, some basic toiletries (not many, I'm more than happy with hotel shampoo, soap, and toothpaste, and my Kindle.

Plus the clothes I was wearing when we got on the plane.

And this isn't so much "being Alex" as "being Lani." But traveling with just carry-on isn't really that hard if you put some thought into it and don't bring home with you.

I just found my dream-fixer upper in LA. I've got a bad case of real estate lust, even though the place needs some real work. Helluva bargain for a short sale.

Here's a place up here that simply screams JWBear.

Was it fun going without pants?

Alex · 03-24-2012, 04:50 AM

I wore pants onto the plane and washed them in the room every couple of nights.

I think I suffer from "Just in case" syndrome when packing.
