yep !! we're working on it. we're planning a whole new system. so far the units are based on how much weight an unladen squirrel can carry, the length of adrian's tail, and the volume contained in one zany carter (that's a heisenbergian measurement since as we know the more zc you drink, the more you have left !) since this metric stuff is apparently far too complicated for some.

this is why we're leaving off such silly things as water and basing our new system on zany carters !

i use weights for dry ingredients, in theory, but i cheat, since i have a measuring thingy which shows the volume of various weights of ingredients (with scales for rice, flour, sugar, etc. along with volumes for milk / water). although if i'm honest, most of my cooking uses purely approximative measurements.
