I was also recently sent a scale free of charge to review from My Weigh. This site has SO many different types of scales - it's amazing! They also happen to be the #1 selling brand of talking scales in the US and Canada (I don't think I'd like a talking scale though!). I was actually sent the KD-8000. Here are its specs:
Great for the home, office, laboratory, workshop, classroom & more!
Precise 1g/0.05oz readability
Reads in grams, ounces, kilograms, pounds & pounds: ounces
Programmable power-off feature
Optional AC Adaptor
Easy-to-read backlit 5-digit LCD display
Protective removable LCD cover
Runs on 3 AA batteries
Adjustable backlight feature
NEW! Baker's Math/Percentage Weighing
Here are a couple pictures:
My initial rating is a 10 of 10! I'll continue to show this scale in future posts when I use it in recipes and other projects, and I'll let you know if I have any issues, but so far it's working great, and it's a fun scale to use! The size is great, and it has a truly easy-to-read backlit display. It's also very "professional" looking, and it has a lifetime 30-year warranty - you can't get much better than that!
I also finally got around to using my second free packet of PureVia sweetener that I was sent to review. I decided to add it to some plain yogurt, and the result was fantastic! Here's the yogurt I added the packet to:
10 of 10 for the PureVia! It totally got rid of the plain yogurt's sour taste and replaced it with a wonderful sweetness. It made me quite happy :-). Usually I just add fruit to plain yogurt to sweeten it, but it was nice to try something new.
Here's a close-up picture of a Barberry Bush in my parents' yard after a heavy rain. I just love rain droplets on leaves!
I hope you're all enjoying some nice weather and good eats!
